I stayed home today because my lymph nodes are so sore and swollen that I am having trouble swallowing. I woke up at the normal time and made myself some tea but Eric took one look at me and sent me back to bed. I tried to sleep some more but wound up tossing and turning all morning while listening to the birds “singing” outside my window.

So, I am taking it easy and managed to finish up the photos from our trip to DC, some shots Eric took of me making focaccia bread last weekend, and Eric’s walk through the WRAL azelea garden in Raleigh. Now, I am going to make myself something tasty to eat for lunch and work a little on my hydrangea pastel.
