Advent December 13 :St Mary

St Mary

My recent hospitalization was at St Marys- an amazing hospital 2 hours from here- the only

place i'll go to when it comes to getting cut open.

This is the same hospital I was helicoptered in when my son was born so tiny and untimely and when my last son left us.

I would sit in the garden to get some fresh air and stare at her...

sweet St Mary

So when little motherless Blossom came into my life..i had that same feeling.....

That understanding of pure LOVE and the need to share it

My daughter felt it too

and still does...she came home from college she was the best mom to me during my surgery loopiness.

she took real good care of me

just like St Mary

April so far cont...

on the Art Farm, a large portion of it is spent inside. inside from the cold, inside my head...dreaming of images, creating and inventing.


As soon as the snow melts we venture outside not with skis but horse trailers



excited and cautious of the ever fickle mountain weather we prepare the garden yet debate the planting

                                     



this year, however, the sun came early and blessed the ground with green and buds




the air promises us a long season as we look around and assess winter's damage .( there is always alot to be done!)




and get back in the rythmn of farm life . piglets coming soon. :) yee haw!

 on the Art Farm, life is busy. spring and summer bring me the most joy. for it is when my dreams in paint come to life.

Had to do something special, how could I not?

After selecting delicious paper and penning each of your names...

I set out to find my assistant for the day

She was happily nibbbling the newly rakes greens

when I scattered the choices before her to see

She nosed and she nibbled then selected one for me... and who is it? IT's DEMIE! Send me your address here THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!! i have enjoyed the "conversation" with you. xo milady

A little Space to Reflect and a really crooked bunch of photos

 So, what you ask, have I been doing? 

well, here is just a snippet. A peek, a quick dip in the daily life

of me.

I taught little children to  believe in fairies and make

inviting houses and gardens for them.

They named me Miss Margaloo and clung to my arms by the end of the classes.

I loved my little friends and their sweet creative spirits.

even if some terrariums got mixed up like a  blender.

 

Everyday i look to see whos living in my fairy forest

with as much anticiaption as my little friendsnever wanting this green

magical summer grass to end...

And lambie's wool needed cropping again

And my first born blossomed into a young lady turned 16!

Lambie thought the piglets, Lola and Frederick. were her long lost babies

Some friends opened an artists co op this summer where i have sold 8 paintings!

Driving back and forth to town in my favorite old red truck.

and by some miracle pulled off a successful show of milady productions - a product line of my art  in our park last week! I won best booth :) and now...im POOPED but excited and motivated. did i mention the new puppy? oh....
