MARCH. 2020. (cow portraits)

New calves coming...


CALVING IN MARCH

It was pitch-black night as she squirmed out of bed so not to awake another creature.  She donned her long-underwear, left out from the night before and pulled her overalls on with a shudder.  The stars twinkled and glittered all around and through the Milky Way path in the sky.  Checking cows was a quiet chore, especially at night, or early AM, a chance to be alone with God and the Universe.  Loving the smell of horses and animals, she spent more time in the saddle this time of year, than any other.  She rode out amongst the herd and then beyond to a cow far away from the others.  the water-bag hanging out was a  beacon of light amongst the willow bush background.  Quietly, she watched the cow lay down, stretch, grunt and heave, then stand with her calf hanging halfway out.  It' head was bobbing but she could see its nostrils wet moist, and moving ever so slightly, so she knew it could breathe and the birthing sac had broken away.  Another big push and the calf wobbled onto the ground.  The mom whirled around and vigorously started licking the calf.  Another one of God's little miracles, all before sunrise .

Thank you Love and light to you  

The birds are back...Spring is here...
Are not two sparrows sold for a rent And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your father.  Matthew 10:29

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies, Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.  Luke 12:6

Also, a good time to make willow wreaths as the willows are so pliable.

      Teaching watercolor class Feb. 4th in BT 'Amazing Aspen trees'

Lesson on aspen tree paintings:  torn-off side paper scraps create a  painted vision of my lesson plan.

Also, my month for teaching Sunday school at our church...a few memories...

God's Grace on Sundays

Long ago, when I was a young child, I don't have strong memories of Sunday school lessons or youth groups, but I do remember slow calming hymns, the fresh pine smell of polished wood, the "loud" clattering of change and key chains falling out of mom's purse amounts the quiet, still moments sitting in the pew.  Between prayers and songs, there was a feeling of belonging to my family and someone larger than all of us.  Afterwards, we felt special because we stopped at a donut factory on the way home,(the only time we ever had a donut).  I hope the children of the future whether attentive or inattentive can experience and feel the same sense of God's grace!

This month, I am Painting place cards for your table setting;  As Emily Post has told us,  "formal place cards are usually written on cream or white card stock.." so watercolor paper fits and my good friend loves my no-waste card painting torn-off paper-sides.  Happy place setting for all your special times together!

A Time for Thankfulness

     Health and hearth are creature comforts, Thank God for these provisions, as well as friends and family.  

     This year the weather has been especially challenging any where you live, here's a window of two days and what it has been like in Montana all year.  Hope for 2020!!

October 26 and 27, 2019. Beautifully green all year but filled with chilly temps.

Mixing summer with winter, Art by Bailey

A poem for the season...
Brown Grass

A Thankful time,
golden,crackiling fine lines,
amongst the fields & pastures.
Each morning,
misted with dew or frost crystals,
from row to row not likely seen,
giving light & reflection,
within your heart and mind.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer...with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  Phillipians4:6

OCTOBER

Stay Calm and Love Cows

October brings less light to our days and yet more thoughtful reflection to our souls.  Taking a long walk each morning brings thankfulness into view.  Happy footsteps to you.
