coloring was very popular… Dinosaurs were very popular Cheryl had the best mask Books, always a favorite, Legos an old painting of mine in a new home… Joe the cat remained untroubled throughout and then we said goodbye to this little village and headed home… I cleared my art supplies and gift wrap off the […]
We’re getting ready…enjoying having all the usual stuff out again… Adding some festive touches… But kid-wise, it’s a dinosaur Christmas…and we’ve brought in the big guns… We’ve had a book here that Sidney always has liked and in the low-shopping mode this year I thought maybe I’d wrap it up and give it to him […]
I’m mucking out my studio in earnest these days as December is underway…move out in December, move into new space in January…sorting, tossing…keep/save? Dilemmas.

Friends…I saw this quote on my friend Elizabeth’s IG feed and I realized that there is really only this question: what is the world you want to live in? See you after the election…keep in touch.
Roger and I and our neighbor Gloria are trying to take back the sanctuary of our gardens after the recent ugly moments. The gun fight left marks here… Our niece Fanny suggested burning sage to dispel the negative energy. I’m not much of a believer in such things, but the “negative energy” was strong the […]
I had meant to write you a cheery semi-inspirational post today…one that began with my first chore… Applesauce from windfall apples (thanks to Susan.).
