Winter Fairy and DC Challenge

The winter fairy showed up in my painting

and rightly so!

winter has arrived in our neck of the woods

it is here for the season!

I am jointing Tiny Woolf

and other artists for the drawing theme: Garland

  

I looked around my wee cabin,

found every window cloaked as a garland

totem art

trinkets of beauty

~

do you see the snowy realm outside of the windows

like marshmallow cream, everywhere!

thank you for being our wonderful host 

Nadine of Tiny Woolf!

I went to the wilderness (NW Montana) for the last day of winter

the first day of Spring

here we do not have green grass and flowers yet

but the snow melts daily

and 

then snows  again

then rains again

a slow awakening

but we do see signs of life waking up from a long winter nap

and 

the days are longer

equal to the nights

~

i stayed in a tiny 

beautiful log cabin

made by a friend and many of his friends

no running water

no electricity

but it does have a wonderful wood stove

this is my sketch of it

it turned out to be a silent retreat

simply because i did not see anybody

i felt as though time slowed down

with no electricity

my days were full of skiing along the river

walking in Glacier National Park

drawing and painting

yoga 

simple eating

and of course

tending the fire

it was a beautiful way to say farewell to Winter

and a warm hello to Spring

wishing each of you a lovely Spring

warmly,

Swinging to Her Own Tune

there's a witch hanging from the moon

sitting on her broom

swinging swaying to her own tune

looking down on the earth

across the universe

she spies a bird in flight

is filled with delight

noting that is

another way to fly

across the sky

walking in the forest

the other day

i looked up to see this

Great Grey Owl

looking into my eyes

~

Wishing you a wonderful 

Samhain

and

Halloween
