a fallen leaf on the back step
like a letter from a long lost lover
what stories of its journey in these lines?

A productive six hours in the studio. Now back home with a nephew who's just arrived on a short annual vacation from his teaching job in Korea. Tomorrow he goes on to Vancouver Island to see his parents, sister and friends. A visit as brief as the morning mist.

I am gathering images of textured glass circles for possible use in some of my current print projects. This heavy glass base with holes is used in flower arranging. It had belonged to my mother who used it often as do I. I’ve never seen one like it anywhere else, it’s so much better than crumbly unnatural floral foam. And of course it made for a great image, don’t you think?

It’s been a very busy week getting started in the studio, doing a bit of of fall gardening between showers, and now preparing a little birthday celebration for our ‘English’ daughter tomorrow. Then suddenly Monday will be here and the day we take her and our dear granddaughters to the airport for their flight home to London. They’ve been here over two months but will not be coming home for Christmas this year for the first time ever. We’ll miss them. It will be so very quiet here.
