Beetles and Weevils Reprise

Beetles and Weevils Collection No. 3

We've had a torrent of  rain today.

It is a perfect day to curl up with a book, 

however it's Monday and there is work to done!

Perhaps since I finished this painting over the weekend,

I might have a more leisurely Monday? We'll see.

Have a lovely week all!

I decided to add a few more tidbits about me,

while I am still feeling brave!

If I had to choose another profession...

I would be a shoe designer

I would choose Emily Dickinson's house

Early Golly Bard

Had a good laugh over these pictures.

This is me in nursery school. I was a 70's girl.

I grew up in Montclair, New Jersey - a hop skip and a jump from 

New York City. Free to Be You and Me and Really Rosie 

were my favorite albums.

This is my Blue Jay from first grade. 

Alas, not much has changed!

Web Weavers

Homage to Louise Bourgeois.

Feeling Lucky

Look closely.

Yes, they are real.

How many four leaf clovers can one girl have?

A five leaf? Unbelievable.
