I read it. Beautiful. So moving.

Best kitchen ever

Spring flowers in a classic white vase.

Spring is for fresh flowers in fresh pots. I’ll be at Old Mill in Etobicoke on May 4 with some beautiful things.

Miss you guys!

Love this.

How are you today? Current events are making me very anxious. Does it feel like we are moving backwards? Do we as individuals have any recourse? Is it enough to be invested in our community and loving to our families? We live on such an incredible planet.

Amen.

Wow!!!!!🤩

Two side-by-side detailed pen and ink stipple drawings of a blastoid; one is from a side view, one from an oral view.

I 💜 blastoids. They're the fossils that got me interested in fossils. Specifically, the Mississippian species Pentremites godoni. ~25 yrs ago, I acquired this specimen and, using a microscope, made this pen and ink stipple drawing. Of my own work, it is one of my favorites.

Wow. That’s incredible.

Thanks! Good to be here.

Thanks for the boost!!

Roses stop me in my tracks too.

“Flowers are just exhilarating to be around. When you are going somewhere and you pass a rose you stop and smell it and then you keep walking, but bring the roses home and you can stand in front of them for an hour or so at a time."

Great capture!

All the best quiet things.

How Carob Traumatized a Generation For children raised in the seventies natural-foods movement, the pinnacle of dietary suffering, worse even than sprout sandwiches, was the chocolate substitute that never could.

From 2018: For children raised in the 70s natural-foods movement, the pinnacle of dietary suffering, worse even than sprout sandwiches, was carob—the chocolate substitute that never could.

Ugh. So gross. Not chocolate.

May Flowers 2021
My garden is very small but it’s full of tulips and the month of May is when it looks best. I included some spring butterflies and a small blue & white vase from my grandmother. This was one of the pieces chosen for the lobby of the Postmark Hotel in Newmarket Ontario.
