It's technically been summer for two days now and I'm sick of cold weather, cloudy skies, and wool socks. Enough already- this is bumming me out. I need some vitamin D. But you know what made me happy today? I saw a true harbinger of warm weather in my yard: our first dandelion. Thank the gods! Wrote the loveliest picture book about it: The Big Wish.

http://amy-baskin.blogspot.com/2015/05/hikers.html
From the highest of heights to the lowest of woes. And everything in between. Friday, May 1, 2015. The view from my secret vantage point. What better way to usher in the month of May than to hike to hidden waterfalls with plein air painters? I thought to myself, as I started to observe the varied hikers and the range of clothing styles they selected for their adventures. Some folks must wear brighter colors. So that search parties can find them. If they veer feet off the trailways. Subscribe to: Post Com...

Happy Poem in Your Pocket Day. Walking barefoot in the dark. I think I'll join you. Here's one of the haiku I wrote this month.

Her toes are not cold because she is not sedentary like I am.

From the highest of heights to the lowest of woes. And everything in between. Monday, February 18, 2013. President's Day - a photo essay. This is my 'To Do' pile. Ready to be folded. It was clean once, but now I spy a pair of pants with a belt still attached. So it is a dynamic, multipurpose pile! This is what has kept me from that pile. Words in Scrivener may look pretty, but believe me, this is a pile in and of itself. This very moment, my son is sketching downstairs. Links to this post. The Art of War.
