Shadow and Light

Wire Snails

The sun's rays

        come to play

ever so briefly upon our kitchen

late in these summer days! 

Note:

I'm dedicating part of this summer to coursework that informs my art teaching.

'Hoping to balance studies with a little snail time each week.

And to keep on movin'!

CSA

It's been an entire week since I posted, and it is good to be back!

School is out, the art room is totally packed and moved to the hallway so the custodial staff can hard work their great magic!!!

This week we also picked up our first CSA box at Loon Organics just West of Hutchinson. 

Beautiful! A box full of color and texture and line and pattern and form.
A Basil Plant, Baby Arugula, Turnips, Strawberries, Green Onions, Rainbow Chard, Boston Head Lettuce . . . AND . . . Garlic Scapes!

California Snails

Our youngest son lives in San Francisco. Snails are a natural part of the habitat!

These are among the photographs he took on a recent Saturday morning

on his way to the waves.

Thank you, Scott!
