Paint Elsewhere
Besides a sketchbook, you can paint on canvas... ...or on wood... ...or on a birdhouse made of wood... ...that has been sitting around your house for years... ...but was painted an ugly green all over. I like it much better now. Don't you? I am now eyeing a piece of furniture in … Continue reading Paint Elsewhere

Yet as I stepped outside my door A tinkling sound heard too often before Ushered in the gray of winter days Snuffing … Continue reading Thoughts on this Gray Dreary Day
Angels Unaware
On this Sunday in Advent, when the candle we light is the Angel candle, I catch my breath as I remember. Not too many months ago, I felt much like a poor shepherd out in the field being visited by not one, but many angels. These angels wore scrubs, not robes. They wielded not swords, … Continue reading Angels Unaware
