Deer January 10, 2015

Six brown eyes on us

They stand like statues in grass

Deer at Mason Farm!

Art Prescription:  A nature walk with my best friend, my love…Lots of birds and owls talking about territory. So beautiful. Around the bend we came up on a deer family. They of course saw us first.

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.

Winter Wind December 10, 2014

I am listening

To the winter wind, trees sway

Year end moves forward.

Art Prescription:  Winter is upon us…into the 20’s tonight. How grateful I am to have a warm house and heat that comes on at a moments touch. Blankets and quilts and fluffy robes…truly the riches of the holidays.

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!!
