....for today it is going to be curling up with the dog, windows open and watching a movie while i sketch out the rest of my ideas for the "Biological Aesthetics" show at YorkArts. I never watch movies at 2pm! but after de-thorning, trimming , and stuffing 150 roses and and 150 pieces of tree-fern into 150 little plastic vials ( and wrapping them and putting little red bows on them) for Mothers Day at the flower shop, I am TIRED!

We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible. The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised... Continue reading
