In the silent night.

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.

Vet Day December 9, 2014
Cold, wet, steady rain
I peer into the warm stall
After the vet check.
Art Prescription: Vet day at the farm. Thank goodness for kind, smart animal caregivers. They are a gift. Felt like a mom with her child getting first vaccinations. True to my own medicine…art therapy.

Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!

Silent Feathers December 5, 2014
The sound of silence
A feather floats to the ground
No one notices.

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!!

Bustle November 25, 2014
Holiday traffic
All the fixings, loaded carts
Plans for gratitude.
Art Prescription: Wow, holiday hustle and bustle. My hope is that as we all sit down to share Thanksgiving dinner, we will also give thanks for the natural world around us. It’s pretty amazing…

Playing Possum November 21, 2014
Oh so still on trail
A grey ball of fluff, oh dear…
Just playing possum!
Art Prescription: On our morning hike at Mason Farm we came across a seemingly unfortunate scene. As we got closer Sam said, it’s breathing. We circled around through the woods. As soon as we were on down the path, the possum took off to continue meandering in the woods. Nature! Full of surprise.

Morning Chores November 19, 2014
Eight o’clock, eighteen!
Blue birds line up on the fence
Ground frozen solid!
Art Prescription: Out to help feed horses. 18 degrees. Oh yea, I’ve got this. Warmed up quickly and enjoyed early morning scenes of blue birds. Art journal page…
Piles of Leaves November 16, 2014
Scratch, scratch, rustle, scratch
A big pile of autumn leaves
Childhood memories.
Art Prescription: I grew up at 1205 Kingwood Drive. And our yard had big trees and lots of leaves!! I always enjoyed raking. I guess even as a child I liked the meditative aspect of being outdoors and being productive. The fact that I enjoy working at the farm where Finn stays is no surprise…3 x 5 index card illustration.
