Horse Grooming March 26, 2014

Winter mud blanket

A box of brushes leads to

A sweet posting trot!

Art Prescription:  Pulling into the farm I thought, is that Doc? Yep, that’s Doc! The dirtiest horse in the paddock. And I loved grooming him and connecting with him before a ride. This time of touch and getting totally in these beings space before you ask them to wear aDoc dirty saddle and hold you on their back, is prescious.

We are what we think March 25, 2014

Expect clouds, get rain

How you spend your day, your life

Adds up, the raw truth.

Art Prescription:  Science is learning about our brain’s ability to adapt and rewire. This phenomenon, known as neuroplasticity, suggests there are concrete and provable benefits to exercising the brain. Doing art exercises the brain. Positive thinking exercises the brain.

“How you spend your days, is how you spend your life.”   Think about it!!

you are my sunshine

Spring March 20, 2014

She makes grand entrance

The star of the show appears

Curtains open, spring!!

Art Prescription:  So happy to see the sun coming up this morning. I can see why after days with no sun, ancient civilizations began to worry. A large star indeed!

Here comes the sun

Horseback March 19, 2014

View from the saddle

Velvet attentive ears, and

Exhilaration!

Art Prescription:  I rode Doc today at Women’s Intuitive Riding at Blue Skies http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us. Looking down at his beautiful profile and soft ears, I couldn’t help but think of what a spectacular view this is!

Quiet Woods March 18, 2014

My steps and tree frogs

Miniature waterfalls

Only sounds in woods.

Art Prescription:  It is too quiet in the woods for a March day. After another wintry weather day, the creek is full and there is a steady drip-drop off the trees. Wet, cold, misty…why would anyone be out bird-watching!! I scan the trees for owls!! Saw a hawk and a cute little Kinglet.

Holiday Countdown 2

March Lion March 17, 2014

March lion spits ice

Daffodils hang their heads low

With disappointment.

Art Prescription:  Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…
