People asked..
how many days have you been home?
How long has it been?
The days just pile up..

the numbers increasing..
in cases, in deaths.. in the amount of time
we spend at home
and isolating..
I spend each morning in the garden..
connecting with the earth,
transplanting flowers,
cutting back the overachievers..
and weeding
which is a gardeners job security ...
Numbers, Numbers, Numbers....
being in the garden affords me
a sense of serenity and enchantment..
a dragonfly buzzes the spray from my hose
and I catch the magical copper shimmer of it's wings..
and suddenly the numbers all disappear ...

The flower images are from
some recent mono prints that I made..
on book pages..
and the tiny stitches are on text from the
Plague Doctor writings..

I have made a lot of mono prints
in the studio lately
practicing for the next video..
and making tiny stitches for my
little French Journal
so perhaps you will see those next time
I post..
Be well my gentle readers..
