contemplating neverending ripe tomatoes

a new assemblage art piece created for a literacy fundraiser..I so enjoyed this project!

altered abstract using transfer of a sweet face

Ii was selected to participate in an art banner project..my banner..jauntily swaying in breeze over harbour

"Lola"

Summer's end heralded by a strong yet fading sun..school buses bumping over gravel-ly sideroads and wonderful red juicy tomatoes.

Wistful thoughts while sitting in my "empty nest"

Missing my one and only daughter..yes even her sassy remarks and her making fun of my "death grip".. on the steering wheel..Who would think I would miss
Heidi's shrill voice emanating from the tv while her face was lit up by cel phone glow..rapt concentration..a contented bubble..She is ready to fly..She is ready to learn and be in the larger more expansive world. I miss her though as my world has shifted and changed and there is a missing piece of my heart.

The house is really clean (it's what I do when I am preoccupied)

The pigs escaped today and were happily slurping on my lovely tomatoes in the garden when I arrived home today..the dogs are sleeping now..not far from my toes..sleeping..eyes rolling in vivid dreamland..calming my soul too

our newest family members...

Sunday I drove to St Jacob's Ontario two pick up these two little rascals! So far so good..They seem to like to snuggle together and they are becoming a little more brave with me..will eat out of my hand-and are less shy..Food is definitely a motivator!
