Pet Love May 1, 2014
Bare feet slinky fur
Cat swirls around my ankles
Claims territory.
Art Prescription: I’m pet sitting. So I go over to visit with my coffee, and much to my own cat’s chagrin, I come home smelling of “mine.” My neighbor’s cat, who is cute as pie, is more interested in marking her ownership than eating. Interesting what one will do for love and acceptance.

Deep Woods April 27, 2014
Smell of vetiver
Rich, earthy bog, sweet wetlands
Guppies, frogs, and snakes!
Art Prescription: Snakes! Yikes, but some people love seeing them. They are nature’s creations too. As we head into warmer weather, the bog awakens, and the water is teaming with life. Remember when you looked at bog water under a microscope? Spirogyra…Be curious.

Horse Trail Ride April 23, 2014
Through long green grass fields
Into the woods, by cows, geese,
Trail ride perfection!
Art Prescription: Spring experienced on the back of a horse is bliss. Look down and see wildflowers at their feet. Watch their ears and eyes as they take it all in. You are on their back and they carry you with each step, mutual trust!
Earth Day Love April 22, 2014
Love to go around
Enough for everyone
Spread one at a time.
Art Prescription: There really is enough. Enough of all that you need. Take a look around and see that love goes around one person or animal at a time, we have enough to share.

Grandma’s hand-sewn quilt
Cold and rainy April day
