I finally finished the last peach tree. Now to finish the top and the border.

I kept squinting at the thing in the sunlight today, staring at the colors I was never able to see completely accurately during all these months: not crisp yet, but cleared out. Cataracts add yellow to everything, and I’d say gray, too. So with the one cataract out, the retina part has months of healing time left but I think I can see now how bright that green actually is and at long last that yes, it really does go well with that blue. It always did.

I did better than I thought I did.
