Wanders over the spring ground
Greeting tall tulips.

Haiku April 16, 2013 Hope
Hope is the thing with
Feathers. Did Emily know
How we would need this?

Gentle on my mind
Nature has a steady pace
Keeps time with my heart.

Like a champagne burst
Trees have exploded with leaves.
A curtain of green.

Big, round, lush orange
Sits with company, blue bowl.
Dose, vitamin C!
Art Prescription: Sometimes art is right in front of your eyes in the many still-life’s in your home. Colored pencils are wonderfully uncomplicated and portable. You simply draw with them, wet with a brush, and the colors blend and come to life. You can also actually dip the pencil into water to make really vibrant marks. Get some and play…play is good!
