shake those tail feathers. peonies remind me of childhood & my mother. my mother loved those peonies way back in the 1970s. i loved them because she did. i am 8 years old & sitting on cold, dark green grass, the taste of the blades so sweet at first, then tasting of old gum. doesn’t…

your high & mighty owls
These owls are in a temporary sanctuary. Injured birds are brought here to be healed & then released. I don’t know the species of owl, but they appear to have their right eyebrow raised high. Looking at me as though I am far beneath them, both in height (true) & in intelligence (questionable)
phones can capture moments
that mean the most. photographs can be art & they can be the best moments captured. unplanned moments that squeeze our hearts when viewed later. at the time, this was my every weekday life. a chore. carpool with my dogs in the back of my old SAAB. I would get my youngest first, then to…
can you paint bamboo & make a fence?
Bamboo is plentiful in Birmingham, Alabama. Can you believe that?! I lived in a house that was near unclaimed woods with all kinds of trees…and grass, like Bamboo. My children & i would wrestle dead bamboo out of the ground & drag it home (not drag, carry without effort, as it weighed nothing). I wanted…
Lice & Mayonnaise
Originally posted on 2me4art:
A few weeks ago, I got a note from the school nurse, the scariest note of all. Lice. Live. In. Your. Child’s. Hair. Heebie-jeebies. I read all about the cleaning I would have to do. Number one-wash bedding. I couldn’t figure out how to get the bedding into the laundry…
Pastel blue house
In Vermont? I always think of beachside house in pastel. This color works in Vermont winters~looks great with white snow. I wonder how it looks in the greens of summer. Someday I will own property in Vermont, I don’t care if its blue, purple or polka doted.
playing with photographs
So many ways to make photographs art projects. This is our lion. He lives among the Calla lilies beside our grapes. His name is Levon~from my favorite Sir Elton John’s song… He was a treasure. He is cement & these animals can cost a gazillion dollars. He was $25 at a Home Goods store. The…
i miss my purple spring
my gardens are pinks & purples in the spring. in the fall, my gardens are yellow, orange & reds. & lots of tomatoes… Our gardens are filled with blueberry bushes, grape vines, tomatoes, herbs, peppers, yellow squash, a peach tree. The rest are flowers. All this hidden behind my house in a small backyard bordered…
a new sketch book
my favorite holiday is Rosh Hashanah~a new year & i love that Yom Kippur gives me a chance for a clean slate. an empty canvas. a new sketch book. this year is going to be wonderful for me…in a few more weeks i will be able to walk without pain. I’ve been down with broken…
imagine if war could be settled this way
It would mean, instead of men marking their territory like dogs, the smartest humans would settle wars. Men & women could use with their brains. But, that’s silly, right? We like it when men behave as beasts pounding their chests, bellowing, “I’m right & you should die” I would think God is shaking his head…
