My paintings The Enchanted & When you feed the birds, you feed your soul

can be seen in the beautiful atrium March 3 - June 26, 2025

~The Enchanted~ 

As always .... the words/story penciled in, gently covered over with paints and paper

Forest bathing

barefoot walker

into the enchanted woods you go.

Amongst the wildflowers

is where you wander

at a pace that's nice and slow.

The earth feels cool

between your toes

mindful steps are taken.

There's magic and mystery

in this sacred space

and you are keenly awakened.

For in this spiritual land, you walk

moving with ease and grace

In a silent hush, not a word is spoken

with the sun upon your face.

~When you feed the birds, you feed your soul~

Whispers to the birds are spoken

so softly, not all can hear

but those who they are meant for

will listen and gather near.

She feeds the birds

each morning, at the very break of day

seeds for the birds, nourishing both souls,

she does this as she prays.

"Watch over those with feathers

who come here for their feed

may they find what they are looking for

in kindness, may I lead.

And once they are full

and take to the sky

Please keep them safe 

wherever they may fly"

A simple thing like a snowfall . . .

We are living in our own little Narnia . . . 

I was so happy to hear bird song as I made my way into the garden.

And then looking up and seeing our little Dove sitting in the tree just waiting for the feeders to be brushed off!

"I know a little more

how much a simple thing

like a snowfall

can mean 

to a person"

~Sylvia Plath~

 

our little winter wonderland

As I was standing under the canopy of trees, branches weighed down,

all it took was the landing of Cardinals to have me covered

in snow :-) 

JOY 

Our little sparrow who sits happily upon the picket fence 

watching over sparrow garden . . . 

"I wonder if the snow 

loves the trees and the fields,

that it kisses them so gently?

And then it covers them up snug, you know,

with a little white quilt, and perhaps it says

'Go to sleep darlings till the summer comes again' "

~Lewis Carroll~

I think so :-) 

National Flag Day . . .

 Celebrating 60 years of our beautiful flag!

National Flag Day ~ February 15th ~ commemorating the inauguration of our iconic flag

 with its red and white stripes and stunning maple leaf.

Flown with pride!

Home is where the maple leaf is! 

Snow much love . . .

Our groundhog's prediction of an early spring may have been a bit off . . . 

but for two snow lovers we made the most of it!

Layered clothes, snow pants, jacket, scarf, hat, gloves and warm boots and we spent a good part of the day outside.

I had to bring the camera outside and take some pics to show our friends in England whose latest email told us of woodland walks looking at snowdrops .... 18 - 20 " of the white fluffy kind was our version of "snow drops" ;-)

heart shaped sugar cookies

valentine flowers

love notes tucked into handsewn hearts 

bird watching window seat

jotting down birds in the garden for the Great Bird Count which started today

so far, we've seen doves, juncos, blue jays and cardinals

Our picket fence always makes a good measuring tape for snow falls

how snow makes me feel!
