  1. Hi Margaret

    I love your Haiku for today, clever girl...and the collage did you make it....it's great...

    I love the music of the sea and the forest and am astounded when I see a walker or a jogger with an ipod on....can't they hear what I hear..I want to ask them...


    Happy Days

    and the quote I have just found...so apt for today, so lovely.

  7. Thanks, Delwyn, for picking up on so much! Yes, there all sorts of music outside, from water drops to bird calls to the wind in the trees. I was also recalling the ancient idea that as the planets gradually moved apart in an ellipse, there was "music of the spheres." My waning moon picture from two nights ago was brightened and put in the upper left. I added the musical notes, of course,and the background watercolor was by Jeanne Carbonetti, author of the Tao of Watercolor. William Stafford was an Amnerican poet, once the Poet Laureate of Oregon. He has a book of poems entitled The Earth wich intrigues me.

    Thank you, Friko, for delving in. I do the same with your blog. I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

    I'm glad you liked the haiku and collage, Blues Vox. I am laughing over your runaway crabs. Hope they weren't from New Jersey!

    Thanks, Sharon--I think the starry night helps to evoke that dreamy feeling, too.

    Hi, Marion, and thanks for your comment. It's my absolute favorite art form.

    Thanks, Gry, everything seems so still except for the faint music from the sky which is relaxing and calming.
