Birdhouses and Blooms

While I was doing one of my Google and/or Goodsearch searches for obsolete entries, I ran across this birdhouse titled:  Obsolete.  It is part of a series titled Forced Migration.

Being of a curious mind, I naturally explored some of the artist's other work.

Oh, my goodness!

Please be sure to check out some of the most unique birdhouses ever!  His NOLA series is amazing!

Now, where would a bird house be displayed?  In a tree (or in this case, a blooming crape myrtle).

O most definitely agrees . . .

Binding update:  It is going to take a while longer.  I finally went to the doctor earlier this week because my right thumb has become more and more painful. 

As suspected, I have osteoarthritis of the CMC joint (more common in women than men, and especially common in those who keyboard and/or use their hands a great deal - like me).  So, I will continue to bind but only in short bursts (no more binding all the way through a 2 hour movie). 

I'm also learning to computer-mouse with my left hand ~ a challenge (to be sure!),  but I'm getting better at it every day (my co-workers aren't really laughing at me, they're smiling in sympathy knowing they could be next). Wearing my splint at night (and during the day when the pain flares) are other proactive steps in the right direction.

Finally, here's to the weekend ...
