Black-eyed peas and corn
On the cob, of course, with squash!
A harvest dinner!

Haiku October 15, 2012 Life Cycle
Like swing ride at fair
Cosmo seed globes burst outward
Wait for wind to bed.
Art Prescription: My Cosmos are still blooming! So on one plant I have at least four stages of their life cycle: bud, flower, fertilize, seed! The seed globes are mini sculptures, delicate, and highly designed! Nature is a master architect!
Haiku October 14, 2012 Walk at Mason Farm
Last fall flowers bloom
Seed pods stand over meadow
Release fancy wings.
Art Prescription: We walked our favorite place, Mason Farm. Seems just a week or so ago the open meadows were filled with yellow Partridge Peas and pink wild roses. Now a few asters remain and interesting seed pods take the place of flowers. A sea of golden rod, yellow grasses and a hint of reds now stretches out against the wooded backdrop. We did see a pretty striped snake along the trail. Mason Farm is a beautiful nature preserve with a few different habitats. Lots of birds, owls, foxes, coyote, to name a few! A great place for a nature sketcher!
Haiku October 13, 2012 Nap
I feel your warm breath
Purr vibrates until you fall
Asleep by my side.
Art Prescription: Few things are sweeter to me than having a warm, purring cat by my side! I love to sketch the lines of my cats.
Haiku October 12, 2012 Ebb and Flow
Ebb and flow, that’s life
Magician works the puppet
Cut the strings? Go free!!
Art Prescription: I’ll leave this one up to you…
Haiku October 11, 2012 Roses
Red velvet petals
Surely the scent of great love
Last October rose.
Art Prescription: No wonder famous par-fumes get their recipe from nature! Few flowers measure up to the smell of a freshly bloomed rose!
Haiku October 10, 2012 Delicate Life
Delicamente
A song for long precious life.
Holidays are here!
Art Prescription: The iconoclastic pumpkin is…simply beautiful. I’ve painted, so far, three different variations of the pumpkin and will share in future blogs. I’m busy cutting rice paper leaves for the UNC Hospital Remembering Tree and had lots of small pieces of paper left over. Always a fan of trying a new technique, I made a tiny collage.
Haiku October 9, 2012 Migration
Symphony in trees
Silver streaks of black birds fly
South for the winter!
Art Prescription: If you wake to a cacophony of birds in the trees, it’s likely flocks and flocks of black birds making their way south for winter. They are so noisy! And then one flap of the wing sends the whole bunch of them off to follow the pack. Nature’s rhythm amazes me! How at just the right time flora and fauna know their job…no questioning or laboring like us humans…should of, could of, would of, what if…
Haiku October 8, 2012 Money
Love is currency
Thai soup, home-made bread, laundry!
Account status: Full!
Art Prescription: In life there are many hours we simply cannot bill for. The major categories are house-work, yard-work, food gathering and preparing, and for mom’s with kids this list is infinity. The pay is love. Creativity comes in many forms!! What a luxury to be able to spend a day adding to life’s account with hand and heart!
Haiku October 7, 2012 Jewels
Last weekend light fades
Squirrels scamper to their nests
Jewels fall from trees!
Art Prescription: Long lived weekend! Yard work, pumpkins, cupcakes!! Lots of being outside! Try watercolor sketching a leaf or two! This one will go out as a Haiku O Gram tomorrow!!
