Hello every Artist who reads,

After several "sneaked-out" sessions in our wild garden, I woke up this morning with the worst poision ivy I have had since I was six years old.

It, of course, was on my left wrist to elbow(my painting hand). Bright red, totally swollen and covered with angry dime-sized bubbles filled with fluid. Disgusting.

I remember how quickly it used to spread to my eyes, so my husband took me to the Yale Emergency Clinic in our town. The doctor prescribed prednisone a steroid, for two weeks. Plus wraps with medicine in them to dry it up faster.

I am almost finished with another picture, but I found resting my arm on any part of the paper or seaweed was very umcomfortable.

So,I went right back to continue to fight the garden!

And, except for a strange popping sensation, it was fun!

Live in the light,

Lisabeth
