Dreaming the Polar Bear

Last night I had a dream of a polar bear looking deeply into my eyes. There was no aggression or fear attached to the dream.
The polar bear gave me the impression it was trying to communicate something very important, but all I could focus on was the fact that I was looking at a polar [...]

The Legend of the Scarecrow

The Legend of the Scarecrow by Carlos Lascano is an incredibly beautiful short film. It is a poignant film of how the life of a scarecrow changes when he decides to become friends with the birds. You can see more of his short films on Vimeo.

We are having another hot day, along with a lot of smoke from the fires burning here in Northern California. My heart and prayers go out to all those people affected by these fires.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!

Spring plowing always resulted in grandpa bringing baby rabbits home which mom fed and nurtured until they could [...]

Back From Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation! On Monday, I spent some quiet time puttering around in the garden and recouping after a long week of being constantly on the go.
Today I worked on The Swan Maiden painting. The swans are now finished and I added a pearl necklace which still needs work. As I was finishing [...]
