…as we like to think, but there’s always a bit more coming at us. Here we are at the end of the 26th week of quarantine. I now own at least 15 masks of varying types to go with any outfit, except I don’t need outfits because I don’t go anywhere…but…I might? We have managed […]
Oh my. Remember the “Friday feeling” (relief), the “Sunday feeling” (dread/anticipation), the “Wednesday feeling” (half-way)? Now that we’re in a different realm entirely, the landscape is only populated with random events, delights, dreads in no sequential order. Maybe the senses are more alive? Though I think I’ve always enjoyed my life as it flows around […]
Here’s Tory’s photo of the seal pup on our beach…umbilical still attached…Mama came back and off they went. I read today she only nurses the pup for 4 weeks and then abandons him to fend for him (her) self.
Nancy sent me this lovely hand-made birthday card that is an image for our times (thank you Nancy!)… But to back track…we went to the beach Saturday for my birthday, and to clean out the pantry and retrieve some toilet paper (who is it that HAS all the toilet paper I wonder?). In spite of […]
Whaat? It’s August 1st? Hi…it’s been a while. My exhibit is over and I’ve navigated the often-post-show let-down…and in checking my photo file I see a lot has happened but I’m speechless on this subject so I’ll just roll out some images thereby proving summer is summer, mine not too different from yours…beach, garden, family…occasional […]
So the other week my cell phone told me one day that I was spending an average of 4 hours a day looking at it. I was horrified. So this holiday Roger and I were trying to live in the moment…to savor the tastes, the people, the holiday ambience, the love, the food…and guess what…? […]
August already??? What about all the summer stuff I was going to do and all the posts I was going to write… In deciding I write about Portland artists too much, we went (in July) to see DE May’s show at PDX Gallery and across the street to see Natalie Laswell’s piece at Blackfish Gallery…both […]
Well we’re ALL trying to “live in the moment”…to “lessen our screen time”…to enjoy our lives as we live them…yes? Yes. That precludes writing about these moments, but I continue to gather the images as if I WERE writing about them, and now I’m way behind. So how about trying to catch up with just […]
It’s been a lonnnggg wet spring here in the northwest… but we’ve just been given a gem of a gift…a brilliant sunny warm weekend at the beach…usually a July sort of thing. No wind… lots of bike rides and bay views… LOTS of beach time with Sidney (recreating a crab) looking at where the public […]
Spring is finally here…the tree peony is opening! Certainly the queen of this garden… Live in the moment we read everywhere…and the moments delight us, amaze us, amuse us and sadden us ..which I guess is the point? The moments ARE the life? In a strange way maybe that’s what blogging is about for me…grabbing […]
