Oh hello there! After 3 months away, I'm back! Sketching from my childhood bedroom in front of the mural I painted when I was 14. Oh hello, angsty fantasy-loving past self!

What made pre-modern artists great? The fact that they didn't have nonstop music to vibe out to while they painted and sculpted. They probably didn't feel like doing the work ALL the time, but pulled their druthers together enough times to get it done. Over and over and over. Mad respect.

Teaching my neighbor how our composting tumblers work & inviting her to contribute when she has scraps. This morning she rushed out to give me a bag of old lettuce, apologizing that it already started to brown and so shocked/relieved when I said that decomposing is what its all about. I love this.
Great day nature journaling with the Philly Nature Journaling Club today. Not a cloud in the sky and so many little green things popping up everywhere
I live near an inlet that someone has named "Turtledelphia" and, appropriately, the rock sunners have come out if hibernation and are ready to charm us all season. Happy Spring!
