Happy St Patricks Day!

chicken tractors.....

Chickens...Chickens...Chickens...

I'm forever trying to find a reliable source of fresh...organic eggs.

So...I've finally decided to just get my own chickens.

I have plenty of room for chickens to run free range

but with all the coyotes and fox I don't feel they will

be very safe. I've got a friend building me a Chicken

Tractor so they can safely be free range. I printed these

pictures from an ebay seller so he could get an idea

of what I want. Sooooo looking forward to homegrown

vegetable quiche!

a song in my heart

I had an unusual visitor this afternoon at my bird feeder.

I haven't seen this little creature around here before

but enjoyed watching it share the bounty with my

regulars.....

"a bird does not sing because it has an answer...

it sings because it has a song"

~chinese proverb

watching these little ones makes my heart sing......



eradicating ecocide



please sign this letter to our world leaders

the earth needs our help......

genetically modified corn.....

Please visit here to sign the petition asking WalMart

NOT to sell genetically modified corn.

play.....

"nearly always there came a time

when each child felt the burden of

their uniqueness. at this point they

would reach inside looking for their

gift and they would place it into the

waiting hands of those that loved

them. in exchange they received a

smaller....

colder....

harder....

gift..

the gift of uniformity."

~manda clements

what a sorrowful thing... having to give up our gift

in order to "fit in" with the world...

wishing you a day of playing with your inner child...

she still holds the gift of wonder...delight...

playfulness...and creativity without judgement.

Welcome Lila.....

I welcomed my granddaughter Lila into this world today.

All 6 lbs 1 oz of her.....18 3/4 inches long.

I'm thankful she and her mother are both doing well!

Look how tiny her feet are...

My Leap Day grandbaby.....

Big Brother.....

How many of you take vitamins?

How many of you take herbal supplements?

Did you know that as soon as current supplies are deleted

you will no longer have the option to purchase what you've been using?

My friend is closing her Herb store next week because suppliers can't

get any more vitamins and herbs. She placed a WHOLESALE order for

$2400.00 worth of supplies for her family and only received $1200.00 worth.

I know Snopes says this isn't true but you need to do a little research on Snopes.

Oh....and by the way.....this includes heirloom seeds.

So if you plant heirloom seeds I would suggest you purchase what you

need before they run out and begin saving your own seeds.

I find this VERY scary!

food for thought....

with many thanks.......

 soooooooo.....did you send up your affirmations yesterday?

i made my list and sent them up with the pisces new moon.

and today....i cut my list into strips and hung them in my

prayer tree....with many thanks....

(this is a calendar picture from David Spratte)



my prayer tree:

Manifest BIG!

5:36 PM EST

Manifest   BIG

dancing the wheel........

"the Medicine Wheel suggests we are all one...

 all the circle...

 all the time.

  to live in balance and harmony

 we recognize and integrate these aspects of our selves daily...

 to live humbly...

 simply...

 and a life of higher awareness."

this song has been much on my mind today....
not for any particular reason.

it's from the movie "the legend of billy jack"

probably my all time favorite movie...

sometimes the injustices in this world

become so incredibly overwhelming....

so much hate....and jealousy.

kindness...and love

 really are

all 

that 

     matter...

perfection......

"perfection is achieved...

not when there is nothing more to add...

but when there is nothing left 

to take away."

there will be something to stand on...

or you will be taught to fly.

i owe.....i owe....

i owe.....i owe.....so its off to work i go.....being home for the last twelve days has been wonderful. i seem to have bonded again with my studio and have so many ideas that i'd love to be working on .....but.....i owe....i owe.....

i'm very thankful to have a job...

but.....

crap!

a little crow love......

every since i downloaded the crow freebie from Land of Nod Studios my creative juices have been off the chart! i've always considered all birds to be my muse but most especially the crow.

Ted Andrews book Animal Speak tells us: "wherever crows are...there is magic. they are symbols of creation and spiritual strength. they remind us to look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. they are messengers calling to us about the creation and magic that is alive within our world everyday and available to us."

magic.....there's that word again!

ediths house

how did you celebrate the new year? i had a 'couple' of glasses of wine and worked in my studio until around 10:30 or so. there's an old beat up recliner that lives in that room...up against the window....beneath some oak leaf shaped tea lights. after i finished puttering around i turned out all the lights...laid back in that ol' chair and listened to the moonlight tap on my window. there was a bazillion stars out last night....and as i sat taking in all that beauty i hoped that i'd see a shooting star......at 11:25....yep.......A SHOOTING STAR! .....and i made a wish.....and welcomed the new year in from one of my favorite places. shortly after twelve i went outside and stood beside my studio window.....soaking up the moon glow and the stars glitter...and thanked the universe for another year..........

i started off this new year with paint on my hands.....spent the morning on this piece.....ediths house.
