a bird series

I'm starting on a new series. Birds. If you've talked to me in the last couple months, you know how excited I am about birds. It's my newest hobby. Watching and photographing birds. Reading about backyard birding, feeding birds, and identifying birds. So I figured, why not draw birds as well. I certainly have accumulated enough pictures to use ... Read More...

Comments: No Responses Have you been there? I am there right now. I know I should be creating things, but I don't seem to be able to. I have ideas of grandeur, but even picking up a pencil seems like too much effort. Something in me really wants to paint and draw, but I sabotage my own efforts by coming up with reasons why it can't or won't happen. Here are some reasons: I don't have enough time to get in a zone I will be interrupted by my kids I don't know what to create I need to cook/clean/do the laundry I don't have a studio or a proper ...

When the kids are little, a large part of the time is spent teaching new things, or celebrating milestones accomplished. Although I make it a point to rejoice in those things, often my memory is such that soon after, I might forget the details within the event. On Sunday, Phoenix tied his shoes by himself for the first time. I was actually napping on the couch, after a busy mother's day weekend, when he shouted, I opened my eyes, expecting something terrible, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear, and see, his sneakers tied correctly! Now, we'd been working toward this for some ... Read More...

Comments: No Responses With spring coming, comes much excitement over the backyard. We've been enjoying it almost everyday, for about a week. It's reminded me of why we wanted to get a house with a big backyard. Something I'd been longing for, for so many years. Another reason for a big backyard is having a garden. When we moved in, there was a garden bearing fruit. I enjoyed many tomatoes, and a good many other veggies as well. Now it's my turn to get to the joy of planting the garden. Inside, I've been planting seeds, and watching them grow. Outside has been where the ... Read More...

Yesterday I had a great country adventure. After seeing a sign last week that said "Fresh Brown Eggs -- Drive In" , I made a mental note to return as soon as I could. Yesterday was that day. After both boys were in school, we drove about a mile down this quiet road, passing nice spacious properties, with barns, horses and other such things. We arrived at the sign, and turned into a long driveway. As we made our way down the driveway, we saw several sheep, and even a few baby lambs on either side of the driveway. They were all ...
