this week we won't be having Sunday night dinner - because of other plans - but it will resume next Sunday February 3rd. The menu: Chicken Soup with Wild Rice and Sourdough Cheese Herb Scones. For dessert, homemade ice cream.
i am beginning to connect with individuals in the Kidron area that are either artists or trying to live their lives making choices towards sustainability and simple living. I am thrilled. Friday I spent a few hours with Joanne Lehman at her home. She is in the Ashland University MFA program with a concentration on poetry. I had sent her a few of my poems. We sat with tea and discussed the artistic life, gardening, poetry and finding balance. I left with a sense of awe at this connection. I hope to continue to connect in this way.
today i am stopping to visit with Sue Steiner. she is a local artist: painter, and mixed media artists from what i understand. the Kidron arts blog was started by Sue who is trying to connect local artists and creative souls. i look forward to what my arise in our sharing.
