Constructed of sun-baked bricks
Dwelling place for gods.

Butterfly Delight May 24, 2016
In the cool spring mud
A Mourning Cloak Butterfly
Feeds on minerals.
Art Prescription: For those of you who follow my blog you will remember the gem I found while walking at Mason Farm. It’s a Mourning Cloak Butterfly. They use their probiscus to feed on the minerals found in mud. This is why you often see a bunch of butterflies on a puddle.

Or an impostor?

You on a plane, me saddle

Lunch at the Umstead Hotel
Afternoon at farm.
Art Prescription: Freshly showered, makeup-check, and gussied up, I met two friends for lunch at the Umstead Hotel, an upscale hotel and spa close to home. I had the fried green tomato BLT and fried okra appetizer, yes we are in the south. From there I drove straight to the farm to meet the farrier, who was the beneficiary of my other half of BLT. He was thankful. I then swung by my art-groups art show for the 2nd Friday Art-walk. Wow! Proud of my group!
