It's 8:15 and the skies lightening up.  I want to begin to chart it.  

Another very full day, after doing some work I went and had lunch with David.  I love having lunch with David, but I realized I'm so busy in the next few weeks getting a lunch in with him is going to be difficult.   There is so much going on.  

First of all the gallery has something happening in it nonstop until September.   This weekend Four Rivers School is having their pop up end of the year art show for 3 days.  The artist whose work is on the big gallery wall is coming down Sat. evening and on Sunday evening we are hanging The Marlboro Remainders, the show I'm doing with fellow alum.   

That's up for the month of June and then we have our Words on Art on Words project going up for July and August.  That has several workshops happening alongside it, too.  Today we met about it and solidified all of the plans.  Very cool.




After my meeting at LAVA Di and I sat in the Coop and blabbed.  Her schedule is as tight as mine and we just have the one event overlapping.  This Sunday while I'm doing open mic community fun and getting the show ready hang, she's doing some print making workshops at Zea May Studios in Florence.  I'm really interesting in exploring some print making.  I really  want Annie to teach me block printing and I am trying to develop some ideas for prints.   It's very different thinking for me and I'm curious about trying.  But I can't do everything at once, so I'll just have to wait.  



I went to the rookery and for my little ride at 5:30.  It was 67 and overcast and quiet up there.  The biggest doings are all audio and consist of dueling songbirds.   

On my ride, in the middle of a giant yard stood this young porcupine.  He stopped and faced me sticking his quills straight out and staring.  




I was trying to identify a flying bird the other night who was catching insects with swallows and kingfishers.  He had this white stripe on his tail and it wasn't shaped like a swallows.  He's a kingbird.  I guess I didn't remember the white stripe.   

Making plans to go to Belfast, Me. in July.  Meanwhile, I have to start sleeping better and I have to nurse my leg more.

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.

December 4, 2025 A Hole In The Sky. I didn't get a nap today, I did get some stuff done.  I went out into the world today and I met the specialist doctor of the day. I feel that each merry go round. representing the three medical issues I am having, is organized and moving forward, which is better than 2 weeks ago when I felt trapped in a maze of the medical world's making.  I'm also going to teach myself the details of the digestive system of our bodies so I can have a better understanding of the information that is thrown at me in these appointments.   photo by Gary Gary went down in the basement, a job usually handled by T., and discovered I have more oil in my tank than I thought.  I was worried about running out during this 2 day cold burst.  But I have a month or so before I need to figure out emergency fuel stuff.  Tomorrow I will fill out all the forms though and be all set for when I need it.  I also have to fill out the forms for my Y me...

December 29, 2025 Happy Birthday Eliza Jean I get to see you this week.  YAYAY!!! www.brattleborotv.org/here-we-are/Kora Skeele, Director of Community SHOCK, NGO Here-we-are Kora Skeele I never get to brag about Kora, I should, but I don't get to hang with her in the same way I hang with EJ so I'm not regularly flashing the camera in her face.  I didn't even get to see her and the family at Christmas this year.  I may try to in the next couple days.  But Annie sent me this link today and I got to gloat about what a wonderful woman she is, I really love watching her be in the world.  If you got a little time, watch the interview.   She's kind of remarkable.  And yeah, I know I say that about a lot of my friend's kids, but it happens to be true and I happened to  be gifted with the role of Godmother to her.    Woke up this morning to ice and a sudden sense of despair.  I realized the idea of needing a new car was too overwhelming...
