Today is October 25th, and my Lilac bushes which dropped all of their leaves in September have buds that are blooming full and beautiful Lilac flowers. I've lived here for 12 years and have never seen anything like this. 2 weeks ago, it was 80° in Nebraska. Our trees are still green. Global warming.

My favorite rent-free resident woodchuck made his rounds during my morning coffee on the back patio this morning.
Apparently, we have a new family of raccoons this year, and our skunks will probably drop by as well... a bit apprehensive about those buggers.

This is Boo, watching Nature on PBS, riveted in feline fascination at the beauty of the circular mating nest of the Japanese Puffer fish.
... or, more likely, she's scouting for a seafood dinner.

▪︎ It must have been the roses
Collage with pencil drawing of Annie dancing, surrounded by roses done in pen and ink drawing/wash. Based on the song "It must have been the roses" by the Grateful Dead. May revisit this later with color.

Work on reference material for a piece in my mind from a Grateful Dead song "It must have been the roses." About a beautiful love, the passage of time, and loss. this would be Annie who is the girl in the song and she is dancing, twirling her long white dress.

▪︎ Here we stand here we stay
In honor of the February 28th Economic Blackout, I thought I would put up some posters that I sent to Occupy/Design in NYC for the Occupy Wallstreet movement. They sent out packages with the logo and had to be 8.5x11 for b&w printers.
