rust you say!
Nay it is art…
under the majesty of the sky
the temperament of the clouds
the treasure lay,
surrounded by a crowd of flowers
lush and green waving in the breeze
cheerfully saying hello to passersby
oh… for a closer look
checking mirrors back and front,
I pulled over to seek my treasure out
not gems that gleam in the sun
but a sturdy piece of artwork
that has been lovingly blessed each day
by natures wonderful expressions
(most call it weather)
set in concrete for all to see,
this piece of art has grown lovelier with each passing season
I can’t say for sure, but I would guess
that not many are struck by its beauty
or come to admire, yet pass it each day
such is life, in French there is a saying
“to each his/her own”
You see rust, you say! Lad show me the way!
PL calendar day 3
Instead of worrying, do something about it..
It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, “What if this happens?” or “Things might end up that way.” Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Guess who is having fun in her studio! Silly goose me! October is jut around the corner, I have begun my fall inventory.
Door #3
PL Precept #1 Life is art!!
Every day is a new beginning, every page will tell a different story. Door # 3 has a couple more pages to do, I ran out of the card page I wanted. It will be done this week.
You have heard me say often enough- Finish what you start… Especially on a creative art piece. Each piece has its own feeling, its own identity, when you leave something too long, it is no longer that same vibe when you pick it up again. You have changed. Yes, every day, we grow, we learn, we advance in our “story” No two days are alike.
PL calendar day 2 Live each day filled with hope
Even in those situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way.

a beautiful sky
Bom dia!!!!
I turned a corner and voila! The contrasts and the beauty of the sky above were too much. I pulled over and dug out “old faithful” (Huawei)
A new day, a new month, how wonderful ! Sunday too, service at 10:00 see you all in prayer.
PL calendar day 1 Always live with world peace in your heart
Each and every one of your actions can inspire peace within your family, your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to world peace.
Love and blessings in my heart for each and every one of you. To you with cameras who share “captures”, a special thank you of appreciation to your talents and the cameras you use. Appreciate all in life.

past, present NOW
Quiet picturesque little lane that takes one down to the Seaway. Old and new stand along the shoreline. What was, will no longer be.We face this every day. For the last many days I have not had a computer, I have learned from trial and error, that a laptop is not the way I like to fly. Handy they may be, but for what I want and need (feel I need) is to be back on a desktop. I would only come to this having made previous decisions that at the time, seemed necessary change.
One learns in life, that choices made at one time, may not always be what we most prefer, some we can easily change, others not so easily. Some are impossible to change and go back to. For example. every time one changes our hardware (for working on the internet) the newer improved technology is one we have to readjust to.
Recently a display I had made in my garden, was vandalized. A grandparent thought it was ok to give his granddaughter a display doll that I had put out of reach of little arms. I am a doll collector and doll artist, the display was put well out of reach, it was high on a wall, and behind a big rain barrel. Getting at it, meant one had to reach over and be tall enough to get at the doll.
It has been interesting to hear the comments when I retell this little story to friends, one even scoffed and told me it was only a thing. I wondered how he would have felt had I gone into his well tended and beautiful garden and began trying to move his plants around because I felt that the roses should be next to a bee balm plant. OR decided his lowers were so beautiful, I should just pick them and bring them to a friend who loves flowers.
Is consideration of other’s property a thing of the past, is the ability to recognize that rearranging a display in another space other than your own, is OK. ???
All things, deserve respect, your car that gets you to where you need to be, the doors that open for us to enter, the shoreline that contains are precious rivers, lakes and oceans. As an artist I don’t expect everyone to like my style of expression, but I do expect RESPECT for my property if you are on it. I now understand why people put up DO NOT ENTER or PRIVATE PROPERTY up on their lands
(sorry took off on a little rant there) however it is all the same message. Changes happen in life, some we can make choices on, and they affect us directly, others it is not as easy.
PL calendar day 29 Use what you need to use without hesitation.
YOUR things, your money, your knowledge, and your strengths are all a part of you. Utilize them to their fullest potential without any hesitation.

Success doesn’t just happen….
It is not by coincidence that things go well. The results are based on the hard work you have put in up until that moment. Remember to be thankful and use your current success to reach the next level.

Happy productive Tuesday everyone!

a moment please
Another moment please, the window down, camera ready, I smiled and captured the lovely flowers that I had seen the other day. I was happy to see they were still open and waving merrily in the early morning breeze. It was meant to be, the car in front of me, was ordering yet another order. Sometimes the Universe has you in the right place, at the exact time, that you were meant to be.
Here is wishing you a grand start to a brand new week.

I love this time of year, especially the coming months. Those of you who follow along, know of my utterly obsessive interest in doing “October” art forms. I have begun again, I see it sneaking into my various “art” projects.
What has also claimed some of my attention, is fall allergies… We are really not anywhere near fall season, but the weather has been blowing up the country harvests and mites.. The air must be full of something that is not sitting well with my “system”.
Such is life. The stock pile of tissue boxes will now start to diminish. and the sinus and allergy pills will come out of hiding to be front and centre in my activity areas.
I have long accepted that having seasonal allergies is part of my life experience. Acceptance, makes it easier to do what needs doing, so that I sail through the season with not too many changes to daily life.

Monday 12
Monday morning greetings… I am revisiting some of the farms I have taken in the past. The big red heritage one in particular because I was out that way on the week-end. The construction has started now. Now we see bigger mounds of earth, as they rip out all the pastures around it to map out the streets that will be going in, and where the houses will be built. Already it is surrounded by big box store shopping areas, and a small mini golf course. There are all the convenience fast food stops as well..
The skies are still a beautiful blue, and stretch on for miles, but gone are the rows of produce and the beauty of wandering farm animals enjoying the sunshine and breezes.
I have been out driving back roads lately, had special events that were way out of the city, one along the St. Lawrence. A small town along Hwy 2 and the St. Lawrence, Iroquois. Small it might be, but it has a good restaurant(s), a small thrift shop, and a couple more interesting little shops. For me it was the drive along the secondary roads to get there. I took my time and drank in open spaces.
For button collectors, the thrift shop has big bowls of buttons you can go through and pick out how many and which ever ones you want. Fill a small cello bag for $1.00.
PL Calendar day 12 Be cheerful and carefree
Without putting on airs or trying to be someone you aren’t just be yourself. This will give people a good impression of you and things will move forward in the right direction.
