Pull, weed, dig, and sweat
No glamorous white gloves here
New flowers, worth it!
Art Prescription: So my bee balm has run its course. I made space for a new flower garden that will delight me until fall.

Doors beckon us in
Whether real or in our minds
What’s on other side?
Art Prescription: Is there a lock? Are we afraid? Are we brave? Are we curious? Do we want change? Well…
Index card with watercolor:

A July heat wave
No amount of sweet iced-tea
Cools rumpled feathers!
Art Prescription: Does everyone’s feathers seem rumpled? Or is it just HAWT out there?
Index card with watercolor and pen and ink:

June blooms, Queen Ann’s Lace
A short season of spotlight
And then go to seed.
Art Prescription: I find many metaphors in the garden. We are each here to bloom and shine as best as we know how. So, what are you waiting for?!!!
Index card with acrylic and watercolor:

A deer clears the fence
Horses lift their heads from grass
Blackberries galore.
Art Prescription: Went out to see Finn this afternoon. So serene in the pasture. A single deer comes bolting out of no where and jumps over the fence. Stellar athelete! Meanwhile there are ripening blackberries all along the woods.
Index card with watercolor and colored pencil:

A Strawberry Moon
Rises on Summer Solstice
Longest day of year.

Supine on the couch
My “adventures” have caught up
Nature reassures.
Art Prescription: After such a stressful couple of weeks, I think today I caved into the exhaustion. I’m not one to be down, but the forces as of late seem to be gravity at it’s best. I did wander out into my garden late afternoon to pick some flowers…simple things bring me the most joy!

Glad is in the heart
On their sturdy dark-green stalks
Gladiolas beam.
Art Prescription: Visited a dear friend to talk about life as we know it. Beside her porch is a lush garden of tall gladiolas. Glad to have good friends!!

Tropicana Rose
Delicate hues of soft pinks
Sumptuous orange.
Art Prescription: So lovely to have cut flowers from your own garden.
