Breakfast for a herd
A row of colored buckets
Smells of molasses.
Art Prescription: I’m learning to feed the herd. Here is another 3 x 5 index card ornament!

All the fixings, loaded carts
Plans for gratitude.

Envelope Art November 24, 2014
Two streaks lightening
Race to meet across bold clouds
Thunder in winter.

Cloudy days aside…I’m doodling flowers on an envelope!
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.

Clouds Roll November 17, 2014
Clouds roll in, cold front
Drafts of air take leaf remains
I dream of poppies.

Mums November 15, 2014
An empty bird’s nest
Sits still against cold grey skies
Blue chrysanthemums.
Meadow November 9, 2014
As soon as I leave
I want to return to this
Place where geese fly by.

Watercolor, pen and ink, 5 x 11.
Where is Fall? October 27, 2014
Been hanging around
This town for way, way too long
Counting crows, late fall.
Art prescription: Here in North Carolina it seems fall has missed her mark. Or did I just buy a pumpkin to early?
