Life in the Fast Lane

I never know what my fingers are going to type on the Post "subject line." I guess I'm thinking of life in the fast lane because time seems to be zipping by. The Mister and I returned on July 2nd - back to the U.S. of A. from Italy. It was a great trip. We stayed at a small house on the Niccone Highway near Umbertide, south (?) of Florence. My directions, while traveling in the fast lane, are sometimes skewed. We visited Cortona, Assisi, Bevagna, Anghiari, Gubbio, San Sepulcro, Montone ... beautiful towns, all of them. Montone is still so peaceful. Gubbio was new to me. I hadn't been there before. The English lady was very lucky her husband built such fine gardens for her! femminismo

A necessity once upon a time.

I found this in the linen closet this morning as I searched for a dust cloth. Just the feel of the fabric, the blue bunnies and stretching it on the surface of the bed ... imagining a sleepy or fretful or squirming baby ... took me back many years in an instant.
Happy Mother's Day to anyone who has ever used motherly instincts or actions toward any human being - femminismo

April 30 haiku and drawing

It's the NBA
I'm so relaxed on the couch
Please don't disturb me.

Haiku April 27

Flip the calendar
Time's an odd commodity
Here's to lots more years.

Haiku April 25

Chasing after thought
Butterfly wings brush my cheek
I forget sadness.

Haiku April 24

A bitter pink smell
Sensual center arching
Longing, luring me.

Haiku for April 20

Cold wax encaustic
Finding my way in this art
It's fun to play with.

April 19 haiku

Round shapes draw me in
My eyes follow the smooth lines
Around and around.

Haiku for April 17

Layer on layer
Stinging my eyes and I weep
Monocot genus.

Haiku for April 18

A flower of felt
A bottle from days gone by
I pause to reflect.

Haiku April 12

Colors thrill me so
Red, yellow, purple, green, blue
Makes me smile and glow.

April 11 haiku

There's a lonely time
It can not be shared with you
It's too small and deep.

And in my palm. Another drawing and poem.

April 9 Haiku

And in the center
Of my palm there lies a box
What does it hold THERE?

April post, haiku

Iridescent pot
A crock with no maker's mark
Wonder where you've been.

All silken petals
Lifting to the light at last
Escaping dark earth.

Almost forgot my challenge! Drew this bird at 11:00 pm. My chubby, lopsided bird. Ah, well. At least I tried.
