Pollinators work
To taxi pollen from one
Flower to the next.
Art Prescription: The majority of all flowering plants rely on pollinators, a group of animals that includes over 200,000 species, including bees, birds, and buttrerflies.
Index card with colored pencil and pen and ink:
Warm May breeze stirs leaves
Tree frogs trill, dragonflies dart
Late afternoon gifts.
Art Prescription: Late day walk at Mason Farm. No day is alike. Always pleases me so…
Index card with colored pencil:
To raise today’s youth
Takes a lot of nurture and
A fresh worm or two.
Art Prescription: Fledgling birds everywhere peeping for food.
Index card with colored pencil and college:
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.

Bye brown, step aside
Green, it’s your turn to shine bright
Cover the meadows.
Art Prescription: Spring abundance makes the dull browns of winter worth it.
Index card with colored pencil:
Country roads a-glow
Redbuds and purple nettle
Make springs announcement.
Art Prescription: I love meandering on country roads…

Rain on a tin roof
Makes a barn nice and cozy
Horses get more hay.
Art Prescription: So I was out caring for Finn while two classes of 8 to 10 year old girls came to the farm for lessons. A steady rain meant no riding, but there is so much more to learn at the barn about caring for horses. It’s getting cool tonight so the girls helped put out extra hay for all.
Pen and ink and watercolor sketch
Found expression
Piece of your authentic voice
Right down on paper.
Art Prescription: Today I worked with scraps of collaging papers. I’m happy with my emerging butterfly.
Time to fill bird bath
Look for first purple vinca
And daffodil blooms.
The sacred rivers
Here are the sun and the moon
A blissful temple.
Art Prescription: So I find the sacred in nature, my animals, and the rhythm of life. What do you find sacred?
