 It is Easter Sunday 2024. A couple months ago I snapped this photo of Jesus as sculpted by the late folk artist Veronica Terrillion, Croghan, NY. It its part of her "Woman Made Garden" that has fallen into a certain amount of neglect. Many years ago I met with her a number of times. Once was to photograph Her and her artwork for Adirondack Life Magazine.  Much of her work is now gone and what remains is overgrown and showing the wear of time and weather. However, it still remains inspiring and memorable.

I present here a photo I snapped on March 7, 2024. It is a cement sculpture of Jesus Christ created by Veronica Terrillion. t is at the home she built in Croghan, NY. Trrillion did in 2003. Not a lot remains of her "woman made garden". What is left is weathered but still vibrant and beautiful.

On this particular day I was doing some work in one of our apartments at Clay St, Watertown. It was sun shiny and nice outside. At 1:00 I contacted the better half and suggested I drop what I was doing and we take a drive. So we went to Lowville to O'Brien's Farm to buy some cheese curd. Then we drove to Croghan and bought some Croghan Bologna at the Croghan Meat Market. Then we drove by Terrillion's place. Years ago I did a couple of photo stories about her and her art for the Post-Standard newspaper. I later photographed her for Adirondack Life Magazine.

Daughter's 48th Birthday April 29, 2022

Birthday card for daughter S. I love it

Today was daughter S's 48th birthday. Where has the time gone? I picked up a birthday card, potted plant and a cake for the birthday girl. She works overnight on the grave yard shift so was sleeping when I let myself into her home and dropped off the goods.

Spent rest of the day scraping paint on our Franklin St house while brother R worked in the stairway, putting up new siding. Got home to Chaumont at 6:30 and mowed the front and side yards.
