Look carefully. You will at the very top of our house, on the highest point, our very own guard squarrel.

Tis a fierce creature!

I love weird looking critters.

Moor is Moorvelous

Janine Antoni's book "Moor" arrived right before Memorial Day Weekend, it's Moorvelous!I love the way the text wraps around the rope that is braided with various belongings from Janine's family, friends & acquaintances, and

the text is comprised of the

stories about the donated materials,

and the people tell about these items in first person,

so it gives you the reader the feeling that you are moving around a room listening to bits of conversation here and there, and

this so beautifully magnifies the universiality we all have as human beings who

by the way

wear clothes, and

have stories

about

them, so

what do you have in your closet right now and what can you tell me about it...

I'm all ears...

Meet Charlene Bearskin, a gifted storyteller

I had my friend and fellow storyteller over yesterday. Meet Charlene Bearskin. She is a member of the Seneca-Cayuga tribe of Oklahoma, and specializes in native american tales. She is a gentle, wise, & lovely soul and a gifted teller.

Okay, we weren't completely lazy...

We took a walk with Jasmine too. Lily went on a long hike with her friends.

Restful Park Day

We had a lovely day at the park last Sunday. The weather was gorgeous. We relaxed by a lake, played Yahtzee and, as you can see by the photo above, hubby Jeff put in a little nap time.

Entry Wall

This is the wall by the front door. I have hung three of my Phony Flower creations, a textured flat bowl (the other one did not fit into the frame) and the old window frame display I made that features many of the postcards my globe-trotting sister Ruth has sent to us over the years. This picture illustrates why I like those textured blocks at the DMA.
