cats live nine lives
isn’t that wonderful!
what about frogs?
Here’s something I saw posted on a page-a-day-calendar the other day: “Some frogs freeze solid in winter, then thaw in spring.” I couldn’t wait to make some frogs!🐸
2034. for Dan
in search of herself
leafing thru an old sketchbook
turning green
*
the moon was green,
the moon was green.
a loan spotted cow gazing
up at the moon…

Back in 2000 something I made a decision to do 100 self-portraits. Of course, I never finished. But this morning paging through an old sketchbook, I found a few of those old pastel drawings, along with a silly verse. (Dan always tells me: “If you don’t have a good picture to post, just do something!” So, this one’s for Dan!😘
2033. tulip tree
many a winter night
it arrives and says for a moment:
i am still here*
Tulip Trees are good native pollinators, blooming May thru June. They grow very fast up to 25 feet each year. They serve as tall shade trees, 60 to 90 feet and much higher, and can live 200 to 300 years and longer.
* This poem is the closing verse from “The Tulip Tree,” by William Stafford.
