To my fellow bloggers I am sending my first bulletin regarding my situation, health-wise.
I deeply appreciate the good wishes you have sent me and it is touching to know I'm not forgotten. I have had a very illness-free life so it was a surprise when I had a life-threatening medical emergency necessitating surgery followed by two months in hospital and another 4-5 months under the care of a hospital-in-the-home service. I am improving from day to day. I am pleased to report that I have regained strength in walking (now without aids) and I am becoming more independent and almost well enough to cope with living alone.
My daughter saved my life in so many ways. She refused to give up on me and she nagged and bullied (in the nicest possible way)and persuaded me to believe the fight was worth fighting. She lives in the same street only a minute or two away if help is needed.
My problems melt into insignificance with the pandemic now affecting the lives of every person living on the planet. I wish you all a safe journey through the mayhem of life changing rules and the attack on the economy.
A big thank you to all of you for your thoughtfulness and good wishes.
Our theme for this week is TWO. Two of anything or anyone will do! I have chosen a photo from one of my old family albums and altered it, adding colours and textures. Have fun!
I've chosen NUMBERS as your theme for this week at the Three Muses. I enjoyed creating a 'number' playing card and I'm excited to see what your numbers artwork will be.
This week at the Muses our theme is TIMEPIECES. Clocks, wrist watches, fob watches, sun dials, hour glasses, pieces of clockwork - any of these will do! Have fun.

My challenge to you for this week is to create art where EYES are featured. Could be human or animal eyes but the 'eye of a needle' or the 'eye of a storm' would be great too!
I'm sure you'll have lots of ideas but just in case you need a little help to get you started here is a sample for your inspiration.
This week at the Three Muses Challenge the theme is SHADES OF BLUE. My sample picture shows a man trying to disappear into the blue. Use shades of blue in your artwork, Anything goes! Have fun.
Autumn is my favorite time of year. It's time for rosy red apples, apple barns, apple pie, and spicy apple cider. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of apples here this week!
This week at the Muses the theme is CELESTIAL. Anything that belongs in the sky or in space will do or, if you are like me, you will cheat a little bit and bring the moon and the stars down to ground level. Have fun. Anything goes.
