Bright white lights are strung
Winter air stings my cold face
Holiday Season.

As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.

Hummers September 14, 2015
Hummingbirds fuel up
For their long fall migration
Lots of fall flowers.

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.

Beyond winter trees
Lies a view unseen until
Revealed by bareness.

In Spirit January 3, 2015
Farm sanctuary
Fresh air, a religion
Horses my teachers.
Art Prescription: I’ve spent much of my holiday time out at the farm. It occurs to me that I’m learning patience, tolerance, and that throwing bales of hay to horses is extremely therapeutic!! Lovely views…

My Brother December 28, 2014
Lean on me today
I will stand tall and strong now
Catch you if you fall.
Art Prescription: This post is for my brother, who reminded me over the holidays that he is here for me. Through thick and thin he is there to lean on.

Spirit of Christmas Past December 22, 2014
Christmas tangerines
In a pretty box with nuts
Under grandma’s tree.
Art Prescription: The holidays can be rough. Seems family dynamics are amplified. The world is spinning too fast. And most of us just want it to be over so our lives can get back to normal. Did our grandparents feel this way? I have some pretty super memories of simple gifts of fruit and nuts under my grandmother’s multi-colored light tree. I think we expect way too much out of ourselves!! Go easy…
