falling into the sky

     Well, I just now got on here. Due to the storms in our area our system was down all day. We had a northeaster…the river was high and rough..and beautiful. Best of all, you could really feel fall in the air. We walked down to check the mail, and my little Ringo kept stopping…smelling that sweet air.       I have not [...]

Changing or dying…

   Good morning all. I just wanted to wish you a good day.    I am going to go through my photos this morning to continue with the little paintings.

Fireflies

    Good morning all. I dreamed of fireflies last night….like little flying stars they were. Even now the images from the dream linger in my mind…a reminder that even in times of darkness there are little fragments of light around us…if we are open to them.  May we be that light for someone today… within our circle and beyond.   [...]
