Later That Same Day
Karol Kusmaul The prompt of Transformation gave me a push to create an image I’ve been thinking about for nearly a year and a half. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022, and the TV news channels were showing video of the victims, I was deeply touched and disturbed.
Another Transformation!
TRANSFORMATION Every year the same thing….. Spring..then Summer..then Fall, and finally Winter! The transformation from Winter to Spring I love. All the dirty snow on the sides of the roads starts to melt and glimpses of grass start to appear here and there. People start to change how they dress.
Transformation and the sacred cows
It’s been a bit busy around here the last couple of months because we have commenced work on a new studio. The transformation of our old shearing shed into a sewing studio is happening but is still a work in progress. The electricians are here today installing lights and power

On July 5, my husband and I traveled from our home in Florida to our former home in Illinois. We attended a class reunion in his hometown of Marseilles. I always enjoy getting to meet people who knew him during his childhood and hearing wonderful stories of their youthful days
