Here’s a teaser…this scene is from a dream I had two nights ago. (Yes, I get many of my story ideas from my dreams. Why I love to sleep.) Anyway, this scene may become my next book. It may become a novella. It may become a short story. But I really like where it’s heading … Continue reading A Snippet…
Good morning! Happy Sunday Morning Coffee to you. As I write this, it’s Saturday morning and I’m eagerly awaiting tomorrow morning, when I can chill with my coffee and relax my brain. But not today. Today, I’m in Workshop Mode. And I’m glad. I’ve not painted since October and I’ve got a Painting … Continue reading It’s a Wonderful Life
It’s storming here in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of gusts with spitting rain. The creek is high…washed away all the remains of the downed tree that wrecked havoc last winter. This is a big storm…my friend in Portland and friends in Eureka are also experiencing it, too. Makes me glad we aren’t at the coast. … Continue reading Winds of Change
It is raining today, and not the warm summer-kind-of-rain, although it’s not really cold, either. But it’s one of those rains that foretells of sweaters and fire sides and wool socks and hearty soups. The cats are a tad annoyed. They wanted to go prowling today. I’m sure they will have their opportunities during Indian … Continue reading Bringing It Home
This past Thursday, I played hooky with a friend and went hiking on Mt. Rainier. We drove up to Paradise and hiked a 6.5 mile circuit among the wild flowers. It was perfect. Just what I needed. Great company on a lovely day out in nature. I’m now refreshed and refueled with beauty. Which is … Continue reading Mt. Rainier’s Floral Mantle
…and here comes August, the domain of Leo. If you enjoy riding the Celtic Wheel around the year, it’s the time for the first harvest festival, Lughnasdh or Lammas. And it looks like it’s going to be a wonderful harvest season. There’s an apple tree close to our home that is so laden with apples, … Continue reading And there goes July…
It’s been a week, peeps, culminating with Mr. Al and myself selling our wares at a local fundraiser called Art in Bloom. It was a beautiful day. Met lots of the locals who were also vendors. Really lovely people, here, in this small town. Met some fellow artisans. Bought some cool things. Oh…did we sell … Continue reading Chillin’
We have no idea, really, how many lives we touch just by being who we are as we go about our day. And I suppose we’ve got a choice. We can be a “misery loves company” type of peep, or we can be a “share the joy” type of peep. It’s something to ponder. Can … Continue reading And so it goes…
I love vistas and views. I love gazing off, far into the distance. Growing up, I lived on a hill. My Dad and I would stand in our yard and watch the storms come through…until my Mom told us to come in because we would be struck by lightening. My Mom had a fearful nature. … Continue reading Baby Steps vs. Smart Steps
In my Color of Woman certification program, we are beginning to focus on our artist statements and bios, i.e. Telling the peeps who we are and why we do that thing we do. I’ve always needed to create…either colors or words, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I express myself. I cannot NOT express … Continue reading Why I Paint, Take One
