Voyeur

The two best things about the new studio are the light and the space

and that Gully doesn’t have to climb those steep steps anymore

and the great big walk-in-shower so that I don’t have to lift her into the tub anymore

and the fact that I don’t have to pee in a bucket anymore.

I was working on this composition for a while
looking for an antique brush and comb set
and fussing over the yellow towel which I kept forgetting was a prop
when next door Sue came over and suggested maybe adding a bud vase with some flowers.

Good plan so I put on my straw hat and went out to the garden for the irises.

Well you know how that goes
in for one weed
in for a pound
and when I came in several hours later
and threw the muddy clothes on the floor
it all came together.

This one’s for Cousin Ed.
