In my momma's house, there are many birds. Not live ones, but all kinds of ceramic, papier mache, feathered, carved, and painted birds adorning table tops, the dining room table, and various other spots. I think mom has only purchased one or two of them, the rest have been given to her. I don't know … Continue reading My Momma’s Birds

Orientation
A few thoughts to go with this sketch from a very full day at Wingate University with my oldest daughter, Catherine, for freshman orientation: *It was as much orientation for me (a parent) as it was for her. *Information overload hit me about noon. Day wasn't over until 6 pm. Whew! *Overall impression: Amazed at … Continue reading Orientation
New Walking Shoes!
I'm not really starting the EDM list as so many are doing along with Danny. I just got some new walking shoes a couple of days ago. I could not believe how worn down the pair I was wearing was...huge holes, nearly clear through to my toes! These new ones feel like springs, almost. I … Continue reading New Walking Shoes!
The Habit of Attention
Sitting here in the overwhelm that seems to be my life these days, I flip through my sketchbook to begin drawing on a blank page. This is the last drawing entered in my Handbook Journal, drawn last Tuesday at Baptist Hospital waiting for my dear mom to come out of surgery for breast cancer. What … Continue reading The Habit of Attention

Searching & Finding
Day 1 at the beach: In less than half an hour of being out on the shore, I chance to look down and see a sea stone...beautifully rounded and smoothed by sand and water. This sets me on a course to find and collect more sea stones and sea glass thru the week.Day 2: Bent … Continue reading Searching & Finding
On Parade
I was in my morning walk "zone", lost in thought, when I became aware that I was being watched. Looking up from sand and shells, I saw seagulls, hundreds of them, lining the beach where waves meet the sand, all of them standing looking my direction. It was as if they had tweeted each other … Continue reading On Parade
My Makeover by Mia
With her palette of blushes, eye and lip colors, my 5 year old neice looked searchingly at my face and said, "Now let's see..."She commenced to giving me about 5 different layers of lip color and liner, two shades of blue and green blush which she carefully blended, and a trio of bright blue, purple … Continue reading My Makeover by Mia
A Day at the Beach…
"A day at the beach is like silk in your hands..." I dunno. Even though there's sand and salty water, it's just how it feels to me...silky, blythe days unfurling in color and doodles.P.S. I'm using my ipad for blogging, including taking the pictures. The color is not nearly so vibrant as the actual page … Continue reading A Day at the Beach…
