FOUR SEASONS of my art and my life …
spring 2016

white horses in Ireland
Local flowers, Blue Ridge Mountains, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia …
… my furry family
winter 2015
Hooray for days of memories and magic …
… sorting through elf~sized treasures …
… everywhere I go, any time of year, I search.
I never get tired of Christmas, especially in this part of the country …
Shop windows at Christmas are hypnotic … don`t you think?
Some day I will make magical windows like these.
I have ever so many ornaments by now …
… and also crafting some wreaths …
… painted pinecones will get a layer of mini spheres from a broken garland …
Did some body say broken? …
Luna who sometimes pushes vases and many other things off of tables …
yes, this one was broken the next day … !!
Luna thinks that`s what it`s all about. Lots of sparkle and crash.
Now were having to be more creative like Santa!
… and find places for decorations where cats can`t reach them.
Like at the old house, where there are no indoor cats …
Nothing fancy … just a bit of slap~dash sparkle …
Cats are left to their own devises at the mountain house.
Dogs stay home too. This one is recovering from a sore knee.
Where everyone seems to be …
… waiting for the first sugar snow like this one in old town
Oh, I must mention the BIG NEWS!

Autumn images 2015
Ready to roll? Let`s see what the new season brings …
Bring tomatoes … and peppers … crunchy bread and cheese.
Be ready to collect those pretty leaves!
Always love pumpkins. They make the end of summer more bearable …
Time to walk along the river dressed in her tapestry gown …
Meadow stripes lead us right to the edge of the world where …
Water falling over golden stones … sounds like 2,000 people clapping!
Here we are with a panorama view … see JinnJinn and Pat?
Golden light touches everything at the end of every day now …
But I`ll never be completely okay with letting summer go!
Wishing on a white horse for three extra weeks of summer …
But then there are things to look forward to in winter!
It`s my birthday this month too, thank you very much!
Friends are the best possible gift, really!

summer 2015
We went into town for a look around …
… and saw the old town in her summer bunting. 
… and the tourists having a good time … as they do … 
Makes us smile to see such frivolity on a summer day …
We gathered our lilies, the two colors we grow, to make this photo …
… picked beautiful peas and raspberries … ate them on the spot …
We don`t ask a lot from our small plot, and are always so grateful …
A fence protects our small treats from … see the rascal?
The porch at the old house got lots of touch ups this summer …
… and strings of bells to scare away roosting pigeons …
The log room at the old house is the only room
there with an airconditioner that works quick.
Drip, drip, the air conditioners roar and drip all around town.
Do you ever plant ferns under them like we do?
Ah, cool ferns and big leaved violets make cool glades for small ones …
So we keep walking through these forests studying beauty…
… and take beauty with us into our dreams …
Time for a treat! Care to share?
T H A N K Y O U for visiting this beautiful day!
