A blue bird of hope
Hopped under falls last hurrah
New life, new venture.
Art Prescription: Watercolor and my stamp that says “hope”
Flock September 7, 2015
Birds of a feather
Flock together, so they say
Know where you belong.
Art Prescription: Remember the clicks in high-school where you were struggling to fit in? As adults, I think we struggle with this issue. Life is like a river, constantly moving and changing, going with the flow. Birds seem better than us at knowing who they want to fly with. For them it’s simple. It’s mutual support.

My hope is for this product to benefit the health of many.

Toad House August 3o, 2015
Little hose-house toad
Lives under a green cover
Above the farm well.
Art prescription: As I went about feeding the horses this morning, I found other creatures sharing the land. A spider who lives on the fencing, lots of birds, and grasshoppers, a couple of deer crackling through the woods. And this little hose-house resident.
