Silent Feathers December 5, 2014
The sound of silence
A feather floats to the ground

Damn Near Perfect December 4, 2014
Dried hydrangeas
Their season of glory done
Form, “Damn near perfect.”
Art Prescription: I found out today that one of my favorite patients passed away. I just want to honor him here. He was a delightful person, and every time anyone asked him how he was his response was, “damn near perfect.” I sure hope he has a “damn near perfect” journey to the other side.

Just Is November 26, 2014
Clean up on aisle one
Tangerines, nuts, memories
Holiday meltdown.
Art Prescription: So I had a meltdown at the Harris Teeter today…dang Christmas music. I went to shop for my Thanksgiving dressing and all of a sudden, right there in the fresh produce section, big tear streamed down my face. What? Get it together. Went to the bathroom…and then again shopping for rice…and nuts…My sweet husband came to my rescue.
I sure do miss all the people that I miss…and this Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for!!

Race to meet across bold clouds

Cloudy days aside…I’m doodling flowers on an envelope!

Catch a falling leaf
And put it in your pocket
