Fifty shades of blue
Voluptuous big blossoms
My hydrangea!
Art Prescription: My neighbors hydrangeas, 15 feet away, are pink. Dazzling. Both beautiful.

Haiku June 8, 2013 Magnolia
Grand magnolias
Scent historical gardens
Century old trees.
Art Prescription: We rode our bikes to a historic property that has been transformed into a school of business here at UNC. The property has an air of elegance, and I love how they turned the old horse stables and pool into a modern day retreat. The formal gated garden contains the graves of the late, late owners…serene.
Haiku June 7, 2013 Rain, rain, rain!!
Creatures of the creek
A buzz with activity
Water rolls, rushes.
Art Prescription: “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” –Rumi
Haiku June 6, 2013 Redeeming Factor
Redeeming factor
Occurs daily, harmonic

Art Prescription: Sometimes you meet the right people at the right time and the right place!! Serendipity!!
Haiku June 5, 2013
Seconds tick on clock
I sway to the time, rocking
Black cat in my arms!
Art Prescription: We have three cats!! Each one has a very distinct personality and my days are filled with cat antics. Matisse, my big furry black cat, I think he has some Siamese traits, likes being held. He melts into my arms and will lay wilted with love until, with protest, I set him down.
Haiku June 4, 2013 Layers of Life
The spiral of life
Layers of experience
Forms the whole one you!
Art Prescription: Our experiences and genetics make up who we are and how we perceive the world around us. Relationships and communication are much more complicated than we think. Best we can do is to try and love each other through it all…
Haiku June 3, 2013 Storm Front
Dark storm front sweeps in
Meadow moves, chaotic waves
June rain soaks garden.
Art Prescription: Watching a rolling storm front move in is miraculous. Clouds constantly changing, wind picks up, temperature drops. The smell of rain coming…quick…go inside! Downpour.
Haiku June 2, 2013 Fledglings
Momma Mockingbird
Hunts, swoops, digs, catches fresh chow
Fledglings shrill in bush!
Art Prescription: The amount of fledgling raucous going on right now points to the constant job of parenting. I recognize the shrill cries of different species waiting in hiding for their next treat. Until they know how to forage on their own, baby birds are nurtured along by both parents.
Haiku June 1, 2013 Roadside Weeds
Butterfly garden
Grows, thick, wild along roadside
Iron weed, thistle.
Art Prescription: The “weeds” along highways and country roads provide sweet nectar for butterflies!!
Haiku May 31, 2013 May Roses
