The Last Weekend of June 2024


Otter Creek Falls, Vergennes, Vermont

 Another landscape added to my paintings' queue.

 Have a Fun Summer Weekend!

Bake something spicy
Browse camp shirts online
Read a funny book
Think about 2025
Create a sculpture from a soda bottle
Write a letter to your front door
Research image versus truth 
Sing to your computer
Recite and record a poem

A comment from moi:
Society is saturated with embracing image. What we see, in reality or photographs, how we process the truth, 
need not be swayed with our romance with beauty.
An old man can have more truth and beauty in him, 
than any liar ever will.

  1. Oh I don't know if I 'm ready to think about 2025 just yet. I look forward to your soda bottle sculpture and am intrigued with the idea of writing a letter to your front door.

      The front door letter is the one that sparks my imagination most. I don't usually think of it as a dynamic place, but it is.

      I heard that in the summer, the falls are lit up with colors.
      I hope to get there to takes some pictures.

  5. I like your verse at the end. Beauty is everywhere on social media, and that's ok, but it's far better to have beauty inside us. Your lists are always enchanting. I often wonder what 2025 will be like, but we still have much of 2024, and it's been a good one so far. ; )

    Have a peaceful Sunday, friend.

    1. A peaceful week to you, Sheri
      Thinking about 2025, somehow makes 2024 more tidy for me.
      There are so many attractive women and men posting selfies on Twitter, I gets depressing sometimes. And scary because some appear to have image issues.

    1. Janice,
      Your weekend sounds lovely.

      I went to the store for my 4th of July lunch stuff.
      As I was walking to the checkout, I felt a sharp burning sensation on my neck. I thought something was on the strap of my purse. In line, I ask the woman standing in the line next to me if she sees a red mark there. She and her mother lean over...and Wham! The mother says it is on your back! She whacks it off. It was hilarious! Folks looked alarmed until they saw the bee on the floor. No stinger. I put a wet salted band aid on it, and a cold glass mocha bottle. I'm fine.
