Takes a lot of nurture and
A fresh worm or two.

Watches over her herd and

Warblers May 11, 2015
Big song from tree tops
Hard to find this small warbler
Prothonotary!
Art Prescription: Throughout our stay at Primland we kept hearing a distinct song in the tree-tops. Finally yesterday I got a view of this small warbler. It’s a guess, but
I
think it’s a Prothonotary Warbler.

Shade and Sketch May 4, 2015
Under the shade tree
Cows, sheep, and goats roam, while the
Farm tells us stories.
Art Prescription: A day for all the senses. Blue skies with puffy white clouds, the smell of fresh hay and grass, lambs bah, a red apple to eat, the feel of a wooden picnic table. Field sketching at Hogan Farm.

Backyard May 1, 2015
Squirreling away seed
Little “hands” work to gather
Sunflower seed pet.
Art Prescription: It’s hard to feed the birds and not the squirrels. They are master-minds at breaking bird feeders. So I enjoy watching their acrobatic antics.
