Finding peace, joy, and so much life here on the farmstead refuge the past few weeks! When I drive by the majority of homes and see manicured lawns with nothing but grass, the void of life makes me sad.

The sun is out and the skies are clear! So much great local art, food, beverages, and entertainment until 7 today for the @artbeerandwinefestival @ellasharpmuseum in #jacksonmichigan ☀️😎✌️

I’ve been working on designing a pint “glass” the past couple of months, and I’m happy to say I’ve got a very limited few ready just in time for Saturday’s 20th Annual Art, Beer, & Wine Festival @artbeerandwinefestival !

Hello! Here are few pieces from my most recent #grapehyacinth collection. One thing we did last fall was plant these bulbs in a variety of places scattered about in areas that receive varying amounts of sunlight.

This is love💚

Supposed to be 30 or even into the 20s tonight so gotta care for the plants that care for us…blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, figs, peonies, and all the annuals are back inside for the night! Let’s just hope it doesn’t fall too far down into the 20s🤞

Just 2wks ago I posted a pic of these #rhubarb bursting out of the Earth with Spring fervor! Just cut my first batch🙏💚 It’s nice anytime, but especially these days, to be as self sufficient as possible!

Planted #asparagus last spring so I’m excited to see them emerging this year!! Well let them all go again without harvesting them, but maybe next year we’ll cut a few. Aren’t they so cool coming out of the ground like this!?!

You know it’s truly spring when #grapehyacinth season begins☀️🪻😀

Changing my art with the seasons is fun and also helps keep my work small batch and unique. Here’s to pops of spring color bringing pops of hope…✌️🌈✊

One thing keeping me somewhat grounded while the coup is replacing our #democracy with #fascism has been the hatching of #paintedturtles in our yard! So far we've helped 32 to the pond! We even saw 4 emerge from the ground. It’s been truly special. Enjoy the compilation. More to come.

Even with instability, rights being stripped, and lives being destroyed by fascist policies, the cycles of Nature continue. Yes, the #climatecrisis impacts these cycles, but I still find peace and comfort in them. And #rhubarb is so dang pretty AND tasty! Daydreaming about rhubarb mojitos☀️😎

My little #pine mug forest from the last firing😁

As the seasons shift I’ll be transitioning from pines to flowers! Since I use real foliage, flowers, etc, my nature imprint work evolves with the seasons. Each piece is truly one of a kind.

If you don’t know this, ferns hold a special place in my heart💚 And for a bonus, turn your volume up to hear the Redwing Blackbirds that have returned to our wetlands🖤♥️

If you protested Sat drop your city or state in the comments for some extra love✌️✊

#handsoff protest in Lansing, MI. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you’re a working class American, I hope inform yourself and join the movement. Otherwise, our country will be ruined by a very small percentage of the wealthiest who could care less about any of us.

We all need to take over the streets Saturday to say Hands Of our collective resources and freedom of speech.

Pittsburgh's downtown Hands Off protest and March is at 12:30 at the City-County building on Grant.

If you’ve been following along you saw my under/glazing process. Here’s the finished piece! Thank you for your interest😁

Hope you’re finding some joy this week to help you keep up the fight against fascism✌️✊

For this final part 3 video I’m brushing my “stem mix” underglaze in the imprints. Then I use a clear glaze on top. That part is boring so no video for that😁

Please call your rep to demand they oppose HR 22 SAVE Act (voter suppression)!

Did some weeding today and were in awe at how many earthworms with each dip into the soil. Thankful for each of these sentient beings and to have learned about #regenerativefarming several years back. Doing what we can to create #healthysoil and live in #reciprocity with the land🙏🪱✌️
