Hidden Falls

  A friend of mine posted recently on Facebook, a photo taken from her hike on the Indian Creek Trail at Hanging Rock State Park, NC.  I immediately recognized the view! Many lovely memories came rushing back of hiking a portion of this trail which leads to two waterfalls.  Window Falls and Hidden Falls are … Continue reading Hidden Falls

Joslin Diabetes Center

Maddie and I are enjoying visits to the new Joslin Diabetes Center.  The beautiful bright colors make you forget that the reason you are here is because your child has a life-threatening disease which requires ongoing management and education.  This morning, we met with the wonderful Kathie Cooper, our diabetes educator. I say "our", because … Continue reading Joslin Diabetes Center

What I Have to Give

When the basket passes by, I often wish I could give something other than money.  Not that I always have that to give.  We've been taught that, MORE than our money, God wants our Hearts.  So I often imagine my own little self inside that basket, being whisked away for use in His Kingdom. I … Continue reading What I Have to Give

Life Is A Garden

(Cennino Cennini) In case you do not know who Cennino Cennini … Continue reading Encouragement from Across the Ages

The Beauty of Line & Watercolor

A couple of days ago, Maddie and I sat out in our backyard, in the cool morning, to draw.  I had several sketchbooks (as I do when using watercolor, so that I can move on to another drawing while one is drying), pens, watercolors; and she had her big sketchbook, pencil, and markers.  When she … Continue reading The Beauty of Line & Watercolor

Extra-Ordinary Lines

The thing that's so captivating about lines is that they have the power to transform the most ordinary of subjects, into something truly extraordinary! Color has this power as well.  But there's something mesmerizing about following the contours of a clematis vine growing up a mailbox that seems to alter what's before me into a … Continue reading Extra-Ordinary Lines
