Queen Zelda

We were hoping to have a row this morning...Too windy all day, so we had a nice walk..starting to bring the faeries back to the faerie circle.    Often, Fiona is here for Memorial Day and that’s her job but not this year or last …(think it has to do with sister in high school..but we’ll see them when school is over!) 
This isn’t actually how Zelda's place looks… It's been blipped before...the sun in the forest was so lovely I “painted” several bits together, but liked the way the sun came through her wings…do you think her hair is getting ever more silvery?   There are lots of cedar trees up here on the hill that are dying from lack of water…I'm half through Richard Powers "the Overstory"..ever more intelligence about the lives of trees...

I read in the AARP (American Association of Retired People) magazine this fitness test: 
“ Can you sit on the ground and get up again without using your hands?  An inability to perform this action is linked to mortality in adults over 50. “       I can't.  Can you?   ( anyone over 70 at least....). .   Isn’t every human linked to mortality?    (You can watch a Youtube showing you how to do it……)

Edit:   I see the photo has been reduced in size... I can fix it back but not til tomorrow ( computer is in the studio and I’m going to bed.
Also can’t seem to get the link to work,but check out the link from Kendall’s comment below of very sensible and easy ways to do this. :-)
