Rose colored glasses
True color is in actions
True good is true good.
Art Prescription: Actions speak louder than words I always heard. When people act from their heart you can feel it. When people treat you with respect you feel valued.

Old stately houses
Sit under a grove of trees
Middle of a field.
Art Prescription: Rural North Carolina is so beautiful. Rolling waves of fall color. Big old farm houses sit in the middle of sprawling fields and have long lanes leading to the front doors.
From babe to woman
My friend’s daughter is a bride
And now a Mrs.
Art Prescription: Sam and I drove to Nashville, NC Saturday to attend a wedding. It seems like yesterday when I was going to the hospital to be with my friend in labor. The circle of life.
Beautiful weaver
A master piece in design
But don’t get caught up!
Art Prescription: This time of year I come across beautiful webs at the farm. I duck and try and miss them, not to disturb all the hard work of weaving.
Index card with pen and ink, my chop says “hope”
Sounding the alarm
Squats and bobs, tail held up high
Carolina Wren.
Art Prescription: I love watching these spunky little birds bob and call. They have a distinctive little dance and posture. They are small, but they can cover a big territory with their chattering. Don’t we all need to know how far our voice carries? Are people hearing us when we ask for what we need?
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Sneaky small pepper
Spiced up butternut squash soup
Burst of capsaicin.
Art Prescription: I got a load of peppers from a friend. Green peppers, jalepeno peppers, and some small slender peppers I thought to be mild. I proceeded to put four of those babies into my cream of butternut squash soup and whoa baby those peppa’s packed some heat. It was good though, not too hot for us to eat, but next time I may remove the seeds and just have the lovely flavor without the after-burn, lol.
Index card with colored pencil:
Record setting rain
Fall roses bloom any ways
They know it’s their time.
Art Prescription: Makes me think of the lyrics from a song, “she thinks happiness is a mat on her door-way.” Happiness is not a mat on our door-way, happiness is like flowers blooming. She did it anyways!! How we live our days is how we live our life. Go ahead ahead and bloom…
Work in progress:
The shadow of fall
There’s the promise of sunsets
Don’t need a passport.
Art Prescription: Found poetry. Scan a magazine and look for words or phrases that speak to you. Cut and paste into your journal, or as I’ve done here onto an index card.
Index card with collage and colored pencil:
A work in progress
What we are every day
Growing and learning.
