Earth Day


To me, every day is like earth day. I love nature very much. Our family has been into recycling for a very long time. I know that I fall short in many ways but at least I try. As earth day approaches I have chosen to share with you a few glimpses into what earth is about for me in this particular time.


Birds are important to me. Springtime of the year is special because of robins. These particular robins were gathering happily in the tree outside, just beyond the window.

While green grass and new leaves are slow in arriving, there are some perrenial plants poking their leaves through the earth announcing their arrival. I am always so happy to see those first leaves peeking out.


Certainly the earth is about people and love. I am always inspired when I encounter one of these very special videos.


Considering my love of colour and creativity I find this next video to be exceptionally representative of nature and art. Please view full screen if you are able.


While the article below is not news, I believe the timing is appropriate to share because of earth day and my love of nature. The display remains in the gallery until the end of April.

As a finale for my little celebration of earth day I could not help but choose to ask you to "Imagine".

Happy EasterThis is a vintage bowl at the farm that I use every year for placing our easter eggs in. Unforunately there is a crack in the bowl at the top. I still love the bowl. It is perfect for the eggs.
For many years I have been using natural dyes. The blues are done with purple cabbage, the yellow is turmeric and the orange is of course onion skins. I used wax crayon to put designs on some of the eggs this year. I love using natural dyes.

Wishing you a very blessed Easter.
Angels be with you.
