paradise


This being Thanksgiving,
 my goal was to post about gratitude,
but it seems the wifi is sometimes what we call
 mudbound.
Well, we'll give 'er a go...

Don Gray is a masterful artist and muralist
now living in Portland, Oregon.
His blog is a delight.
When I once commented to him that I had 
a 50cent bird-of-paradise plant trapped in a tiny pot,
 Don gently suggested that I transplant the poor thing.
That was four years ago. 

Thanks, Don.




And thanks to all of my blogging friends.
Your kind and attentive messages are treasured.
I'm very grateful for all of you.
Bless us all.

Sam,

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope life is returning to normal or something close to it.

Yes, John, life is returning. Defining normal, however, is a sometimes thing. Never a dull moment.

You are right. Don Gray is someone to be thankful for. He is gentle and insightful. Thank you for reminding me.

Good to hear from U 2, Celeste!
Yes, "the bird" is a beauty and gives us hope every day.

Hi Hallie!
Never thought I'd be this glad to be at the 'puter. Working slowly towards the easel.

Page,
What a nice thing to say!
As much as we all want inspiration, giving inspiration may be the real gift.
