Bittersweet

Life feels bittersweet and sometimes I feel too tender. I wish for peace on earth everyday.

The vapors

The vapors rolled in ~

The fever climbed high ~ 

Stray little kitty ~

Asleep by my side.

Springtime

A stand of silver maple trees shades a fern garden that surrounds a bed of straw upon which sits a concrete bench.

Play

Play nourishes my soul. I enjoy the laughter of games. I enjoy the communion of making and playing music together. I don't leave the home often, but when I do, it's for music and play ...

Grey winter days

I love winter. Cold grey days compel inside activities. Drums, piano, writing and drawing provide creative outlets. Clementines appear like little balls of sunshine. Beans in the crock pot keep me full, healthy and warm. A homebody's delight!

Snowy day

Barley, hops, liquor, wine.
Snowy day.
I feel fine.

Forest stand

Forest stand.
