Robins December 13, 2015

A flock of robins

Supervise evening shift

Owls begin to hoot.

Art Prescription:  Love being at Mason Farm at sunset. The birds are foraging for their last snack and the night-time creatures begin to stir.

Memory December 11, 2015

Seconds of my life

Click by on the microwave

Quick grits are ready!

Art Prescription:  And let’s remember each small thing. Lucky to have hot grits with butter, even if I did eat them standing up between patients. A bite here, ooh that’s hot, a bite there, more butter? What do elephants and grits have to do with one another? Hot grits…cute critter with flowers…TGIF y’all!

Keeping it Real December 9, 2015

Flock of wild turkeys

Gather in field, they do not

Wish they were peacocks.

Art Prescription:  So your neighbor has decked the halls and baked (home-made) a holiday cookie batch to sin for. Meanwhile you say the mantra “less is more, less is more.” And actually you are okay with that. You watch as the cardinal steals a sunflower seed from the nuthatch, and you sigh…life is good…life is really good.

Deer November 17, 2015

In November shade

Deer graze in waning sunset

Smell of fallen leaves

Art Prescription:  On the way home from the farm I always see deer grazing in the corn fields. My Open Studio is this weekend, so index cards are my go to art for now.

Fly In November 4, 2015

Noisy band of geese

Flew over the distant woods

Wings flapping the air.

Art Prescription:  Rode Finn bare-back today! Oh yes, sauna after…that folks is a work-out! Always beautiful moments at the farm. This morning a huge flock of geese flew over. For a few moments all you could hear was the gaggle of them telling each other which way to go. I wish someone would tell me which way to go…
