Gather ye rosebuds while ye may


It’s been so long since we last spoke I find myself unsure of what to say.  So, merely a brief note with the news from here:  the weather is fair and the garden is full, as are my bookshelves and painting studio.  I am working on a new writing project and a series of paintings, both of which cause despair and elation in roughly equal measure, depending on the current state of that old internal barometer, the soul.
