Ephemeral sketch
Two friends, one quilt, wildflowers
Sun-hats and magic.
Art Prescription: Into the garden we did go! With our sun-hats, colored pencils, and a sense of hope. Wildflowers we did find, along with cures for the common soul!!

Swarm of honey bees
The weight on a new spring branch
Queen rules colony.
Art Prescription: Saw this on my walk today. So amazing and beautiful. Swarming behavior only occurs in spring when the Queen Bee decides to start a new colony and leaves with thousands of worker bees in search of a new nest. Meanwhile they swarm in unexpected places.
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:
Intricate pattern
These creatures who take to flight
Feathers, part of wings.
Art Prescription: My favorite subject lately is feathers. So beautiful, so purposeful…

Country roads a-glow
Redbuds and purple nettle

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.

A blue table cloth
Sets the stage for a picnic
Fresh friendship galore.
Time to fill bird bath
Look for first purple vinca
And daffodil blooms.
Path leads down a hill
Solitude, discovery
Woodland grassy cove.
Art Prescription: I took the path less traveled. And found a beautiful grassy cove.

Sugar, spice, and sass
Sweet little mare with long bangs
Knew what I needed.
Art Prescription: I rode Shelly today. After feeding over the winter I was intrigued by this spirited mare. She would always come to greet me at the gate. Finn is healing and getting some time off. I really enjoyed Shelly’s energy today…just what I needed.
