By this time, at the tail end of winter, the weather seems to govern the emotions more…sleepy or depressed on a rainy day and then along comes a sunny day and…elation. Today is such a day and I walked at the Riverfront Walking in the sunlight seemed amazing. When I got home I noted there […]
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. And slow because, as usual, thing have a way of popping up…Here’s Susan’s photo of 2018 when things were tidy for an Open Studio… but several exhibits later I’ve tossed through […]
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 […]

The days seem to “zoom” by… I’m not THINKING about this situation so much as just trying to survive it. I want to go have coffee with my drawing friends… and so on. So do you. So does everybody. I no longer think in terms of “inspirational messages”… only just in terms of getting through […]
It’s amazing how much there is to do around here…I had to take a blog day off yesterday, and I don’t have a lot to report today…though a few more window photos have come in: Salem: Portland: Texas D.C. Long Island I suspect you’ve all been zooming…we had two social “outings” this week that involved […]
