tuesday,
april fool's day
i left school a wee bit early
to have my broken tooth seen to
for the second time in two days
(the temporary filling having proved
too temporary)
my dentist is very good!
this subaru wore a coat
of sticky note armor
i happen to know the owner
but not the story behind this blatant display
of student approval.
HCS: our small-town school.
and the snow piles that were over my head
were melting
those tiny sparkles
are melt drops.
melting
melting into mud season
some strange pathways
but spring is definitely here
somewhere
the last full pot
before the book arts bazaar in portland
this sunday.
and some results
color in winter
is visual relief
from the vast white
which is becoming vast slush
before vast mud.
in other news
besides my pesky tooth
taxes.
done
by myself last night
with a nice return this year.
for a change.
That is some giant snow ball
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories.
Lovely work. And the car,
Duly "noted" )
Love the colours you have achieved, is this paper directly in the dye bath I usually steam mine.
ReplyDeletefabulous colours on the paper. happy for you that Spring is finally showing up.
ReplyDeletem, you KNOW it. but it's a bit smaller every day. still haven't heard the car tale,
ReplyDeletedebbie, this is indeed, but packed solid full up and something like 15 sheets
jean, i think the perps had a great time doing this bit of car art
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine which feels better to you, the beautiful dyed paper or that fact that your taxes are done, but in any case, enjoy both of them.
ReplyDeletealice, it is grand! all of it!
ReplyDeleteThe paper looks lovely, Velma! What did you use to dye it? When are you coming to Toronto to teach?
ReplyDeleteanne-marie, all you have to do is invite me
