We’ve had a lot of precipitation this past month… sheesh.. it’s a little boggy around here! But all the green things are growing, and the gardens will be gorgeous this summer… Take a look….

We celebrated my mother Kathy’s 85th birthday… pictured in the larger group are her “posse” of friends who joined us. My mom has always made good friends wherever she resides or works and it is a testament to the good friend she is to all. I can say with 100 percent honesty she is my best friend. If you told my 18 year old self I would believe that down the road… well, I wouldn’t have believed it. You might say I was a rebel who hadn’t yet figured out my cause .

Not only was this cake beautiful… made by a local baker… it was delicious!

I’ve been busy in the studio with some new works… water color and acrylics lately… getting away from the heaviness of the oils…. It is SO FREEING!!!

This watercolor was for a dear friend who loves Martha’s Vineyard as much as I do.

And I have enjoyed diving into the world of tiny paintings…. these two are in acrylics… so much fun.

Our goat girls, Bella and Star are now Five years Old… How is that possible. Time flies, no truer words have ever been spoken.

The current egg color palette in the Egg Plant….

And I’ll close this post with a few memes I currently relate to and perhaps you to as well…



I hope all is well in your neck of the woods…
Till soon –

The happiest of birthday wishes for Kathy. She is such a great sage and thinker and a joy to her family and friends. I myself am 80 and my life goal is to leave the world a better place by voting in 2028! Your art work is so impressive–you have much talent my dear! I’m glad you’re posting again.
OH please do vote in 2028….and more after that! The world needs as many of you as is possible. Thank you for your kind words.
This post was perfect in many ways. You’re as great with a paint brush as you are with the written word. I miss my cat so much but luckily, there’s always a stray ha ha. Our purpose is to shepherd be that kids, grands, spouses or animals with a loving and open heart. I love seeing your farm posts (I confess I get tired thinking of the work) So glad you’re back.
Thank you! and what a great sentence right there… it says it all really! “Our purpose….. Glad to have you back as well… thanks for stopping by!
