presence of mind
What I’m lacking in these warmer than usual last days of June: presence of mind. Did I lose it to the two pups that are panting so nonstop that I need to stop whatever is happening and get them wet? Or is it because it’s summer and I don’t have a mind anyway? It’s easier […]
Gracious!
I just received a book in the mail with the sweetest dedication. And I had to respond. How could I not? Was it how many years ago now? Martin Stellar started a master mind group for artists. To sell art. I joined at the last minute. But then when I nervously went online for the […]
black and white
Yesterday the lake was wide open water. One day later, and it’s ready to give up all those reflections we’ve enjoyed for many months. Enjoyed, in fact, for much later into the season than I can recall. It’s been a warm fall. Up til now. I admit, I was NOT looking forward to winter weather. […]
the woods are
Lovely, dark and deep But I have promises to keep… (Frost) Yes, don’t we all? It’s fall. And the promises are calling calling calling us. Come back inside. Come back to – to what? To what we focus on when we aren’t drifting off inside nature’s caress. When we aren’t limp from her warm sun […]
holding on
I relate: Holding on to the remnants of summer. Holding on to those odd days that blow in warmer weather. Holding on to the sense of peace that fall offers before…. dun-da-dun… winter arrives. My pup loves this time of year. The little chipmunks are scurrying everywhere through the leaves. Gathering their nuts. Squealing at […]
unformed : take 3
WordPress keeps refusing to post my image… I’m sending this with the image imbedded, to see if that makes a difference. So sorry for this craziness! Gracious! NO way. Is that art that that’s happening? It’s been awhile. You know, I was just reading about Giacometti and how he would work intensely and then have […]
unformed : take 2
Gracious! NO way. Is that art that that’s happening? It’s been awhile. You know, I was just reading about Giacometti and how he would work intensely and then have periods of hanging out with friends in Paris. Okay. So I’m not in Paris. But hanging out? Yes, I did do that. I’m looking at the […]

yellower
My pears have started falling off the tree. They look – yes, yellower. Right? And they taste really sweet and juicy. Worth waiting for. That ripeness. That color. Who likes to wait? Who likes that – “just a few more minutes/days/ months?” And yet, we know. It’s always that last – what – 2%? That […]
seeing yellow
I’m seeing yellow. I brought it to mind. Now it jumps out at me. This dear butterfly has landed on my joe pie weed. That plant is common here – and is now in full bloom at the end of summer. The pollinators love it. And I love seeing them. At the end of summer: […]
