It’s always hard to come home from an enjoyable vacation but sometimes you get a treat at the very end. Flying back from the scenic views, great hiking, and cool weather of the west coast back into the hot, sultry weather of Atlanta in July is never easy. However, on that evening, as we descended to Hartsfield-Jackson International airport, Atlanta treated us to a spectacular sunset, with the lights of the city below – a great welcome home!

Happy Weekend!

            Looking at clouds never gets old. Ever since I was a child, clouds have excited my imagination. I could see so many things in the sky above. Now, they also inspire awe and delight as they put on their daily show of color and beauty. I have friends who will comment approvingly, “Look at that! Not a cloud in the sky!” I will respond sadly, “Yes, not a cloud in the sky” as I search desperately for clouds in the distance preparing to present me with aerial shows of gorgeous color and forms that could be people or dogs – there’s always at least one dog to be seen in clouds. In this painting, I see maybe a happy dog smiling in the middle or maybe a parent cloud running after that smaller cloud on the left, who couldn’t resist chasing after that ball of light in the sky. What do you see?

            Happy Weekend!

             The torrential rain we’ve had in recent weeks, with all the subsequent floods, has reminded me once again of the tremendous value of preserving wetlands. While walking through the park I visit every weekend, I noticed that the wetlands there now contained tons of happy, watery life. I could hear the cheerful chorusing of hundreds of frogs called spring peepers – a joyful sign that spring is coming soon. 

           Happy Weekend!

                       Sunrises remind me that the long, dark nights of winter are always followed by the light and warmth of the morning and all the promise of a new day. 

                       Happy Weekend!
