Two shiny black crows
Velvet against deep, hard frost
Scratch steel blades of grass.
Art Prescription: Crunch goes the ground.

Blue Heron January 22, 2014
Along the lake edge
Geese and ducks huddle for warmth
Blue heron stands proud.
Art Prescription: Layers, gloves, scarf, mittens…it’s cold out there. And totally worth it. I think the ducks are courting.
Making Spirits Bright December 23, 2013
Love lights up the home
Grocery carts groan plenty
Making spirits bright1
Art Prescription: Many thoughts of how plentiful my life is. Sending love out to those who are lonely and less fortunate during the holiday season. May the blue bird of hope fly into your life.
Winter Solstice December 21, 2013
Little cotton-tail
Rabbit bolts, leaps, darts, zig-zags
White blur, brown thicket.
Art Prescription: Winter Solstice? Feels like spring instead. Temperature about 70 degrees. And bunnies, who are usually cuddled up in brambles, are out hopping.
True Mistletoe December 5, 2013
True live mistletoe
Grows in trees, green in winter
It’s to kiss under!!
Art Prescription: Where did the “kissing under the mistletoe” legend come from?
Slow Down December 2, 2013
Slow down wild woman
No fire to put out but you
Breathe, stretch, breath again.
Art Prescription: Okay, the holidays are shifting into high gear, and we still have work to do, a house to clean, laundry, yards, decorations, and oh yea gifts!!!(steam coming from ears) Now…breathe. Put your legs up a wall for ten minutes. Be grateful, and resume full speed ahead.
Night Sky December 1, 2013
Branches canopy
Venus shines, powder blue sky
Flock of geese to roost.
Art Prescription: Evening walk.
Christmas Tree Time November 29, 2013
Christmas tree shopping
Nostalgic scent, fresh cut pine
Home to be adorned.
Art Prescription: To me a fresh cut pine is like the luxury of fresh flowers! We enjoy the house filled with the scent of the season.
Thanksgiving 2013 November 28, 2013
Day with family
Old traditions, new babies
Some of them furry!
Art Prescription: The circle of life is so apparent at family gatherings. People change, children grow up and start having kids of their own, sons attempt to make their mother’s chocolate chiffon pie, and new additions add playfulness and future. I am grateful!!
Don’t Stop Believing November 27, 2013
November’s deep chill
Final call for red roses
Frozen in the bud.
Art Prescription: As I painted this I thought of the song from Journey, “Don’t stop believing.” Roses continue to bloom until they are literally frozen still. Nature’s will is awe inspiring and each of us should never “stop believing” in ourselves and the joy of daily living. The holidays are upon us…pace yourself, wink!! Thanks to each of you. I’m about to finish my second full year of writing a haiku a day and it has been amazing!
