her-on the dangerous water

stands, among thousands of molted feathers & poop. this stagnant body of water is something to avoid, because coming in contact in anyway… would, i believe would bring about a new plague.

in milder climates, flowers are planted among the gravestones. in Alabama, this doesn’t work, the weather is far too hot & humid to grow anything without constant attention. a lot of graveyards in Alabama have fake flowers lovingly placed front of them. i was walking a gravel path that was between a small graveyard &…

just thinking of all the compliments this sun worshiping orchid got in the store…

i love blue

i think i’m going to start a collection of blue glass. i love, love, love it empty or not. i found these at Leaf & Petal in Mountain Brook Village, Alabama.

Nala loves stuffed animals, she steals everyone’s stuffed animals. i have a stuffed black rat on my couch in the art room. she has stolen the rat at least once a week. she is forgiven because she is so beautiful.
