This is the first time that I have ever posted from my phone! It’s exciting to try new things! Trinity says so, too. I will post again later!
the magic of winter
Winter has always been my least favorite season. The combination of cold temperatures, winds, and darkness was never my idea of fun. When you add the lack of color, winter just felt dismal and best when ended. But this year, something happened to change that. And I guess that something was a steady snowfall. It’s

a little story
on feeling invisible It’s easy to feel invisible in a world that doesn’t always celebrate our differences as human beings. A world that wants everyone to fit a mold that we don’t fit. A world that sees our differences as weaknesses, not as our unique individuality. I remember, when I was in high school, wondering
color mixing
This painting is all about color mixing. I have a set of three different colored chalk paints, which can be painted in a transparent style or as more of an opague style. The paints that I have are red, yellow, and blue, and I can mix them to get the colors that I need. I

where I live
Today’s photography prompt was “where you live.” And where I live is very snowy and cold, and, apparently, there’s a lake effect snow warning. My phone let me know about it, with a horrifying screech. I thought someone was in terrible peril because, usually, the horrifying screech is used to provide information about an Amber
It’s a baby… succulent!
A few months ago… well, when it wasn’t freezing cold and snowy, I bought a few succulents at Leaf, Stone and Steel, this wonderful plant store in my town. It’s a relatively new store that opened last summer. The store features plants and lots of creative stuff, many of which are plant related and will
