Mail June 4, 2015

A lost art, writing?

Posting a card or letter

By horse-back or air.

Art Prescription: Who doesn’t love to get a hand-written note in the mail? Years from now will this be a lost art?

Late Spring May 27, 2015

Itty-bit bunny

Sits still in tall grass late spring

You cannot see me.

Art Prescription:  Seems my backyard is full of “off-spring.” To those of you who follow me…the little robin from yesterday earned his flying wings!

A field of white blooms

Penstemon digitalis

Blue Indigos sing.

Art Prescription:  Mason Farm hike. Saw Scarlet Tanagers, Blue Indigo Buntings, Chickadees, Titmouse, Eastern Towhee, and heard a couple of Barred Owls hooting.

Waiting on a Horse May 22, 2015

We drank Prosecco

At the barn, as we waited

For the horse trailer.

Art Prescription:  A new horse arrived at the farm today. A beautiful “flea bitten” mare, which means she is white and dappled in grey. The hauler was late due to Memorial Day traffic, but this little beauty got off the trailer calm as could be. She ate grass while the geldings stood at attention in a cloud of excited dust.
