Three leaves per second
Float on down towards the ground

Meadow November 9, 2014
As soon as I leave
I want to return to this
Place where geese fly by.

Full Moon November 6, 2014
Uniform, day wear
Unison, cows come to barn
Unity, full moon.

Time Change November 3, 2014

Bright cheery papers, art cards
Chase the winter blues.

Fall Robins November 2, 2014
Berries in their beaks
A cluster of robins feed
Abundant autumn.

Shadow October 23, 2014
Dark shadow and light
Both of value, no judgement
Balance, live in each.
Art Prescription: We all have our shadow side, the stories we have made up about our lives. It’s how we cope. The mind is a powerful thing! Art…….take me away!! Far, far, away….

In a riot of color
Know when to let go.

Puddle Jumping October 14, 2014
Hard steady fall rain
Forgot your umbrella, well
Find a puddle, jump!
Art Prescription: Why do some folks complain about the rain? As kids we found things joyful no matter what. When was the last time you jumped into a big rain puddle!! ?? Go ahead, you have my permission…
Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
