              I’ve been thinking lately how important names are. For example, ally vs. enemy, friend vs. foe, victim vs. aggressor, endangered plant vs. weed. For example, if I tell you I’ve painted weeds, you might wonder why. If I tell you I’ve painted an endangered plant species, you might value what I’ve created a little more. I wish sometimes that we did a little less judging and a little more appreciating. I’d love if we appreciated all plants as valuable living things and all individuals as valuable human beings.

            Happy Weekend!

            I got a chance to get away to the beach this past weekend. It was too cold for swimming but I didn’t care. It was wonderful to walk on a beach, smell the salt air, watch the tiny sandpipers dart back and forth, and try to forget about work for a little bit.

            It was a little early for a lot of color but I found this one bright corner that popped with color and I had my painting.

            Happy Weekend!
