Week #96! Remember last week, I told you I had a hyacinth poking through (there are four now)? And, I said it would probably snow? Welp, it did…yesterday, we had snow. It wasn’t even what we in Central Indiana would call a dusting. But, it was definitely snow. Jack was disappointed there wasn’t more because …
Docents… Traditionally, docents are guides at museums, zoos, parks, etc. They usually have lots of information and tell you what they know about a specific piece of art, animal, or plant. It’s lots of facts and figures. At the Indianapolis Museum of Art (AKA Newfields), that particular definition has fallen by the wayside. Today, the …
I don’t know about you, but this year is speeding by. In some ways, that’s a good thing. But, I’m also a firm believer in not wishing your life away. Do you remember that old saying: “If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb” or vice versa? Our March …
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on …
Creativity… I never thought of myself as a particularly creative person. I couldn’t draw, play a musical instrument, or do anything I considered creative. I was very, very tunnel-visioned in my thinking. It wasn’t until after I retired that I realized I’d been funneling all my creativity into my teaching. I had to create bulletin …
Number #23 Honestly, I didn’t mean to skip January and thought long and hard about skipping February! But, I thought that would be a bad habit to get into, and Lord knows I have plenty of bad habits! So, I’m going to try to put in what I remember of January along with February. I …
Week #95! It’s funny that last week I was talking about four inches of snow, and this week, we had temperatures in the 50s (11.7 C). I even saw a hyacinth poking through. That, of course, means we’ll probably get snow and cold temperatures again. Life in Indiana! Anyway, welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam …
I don’t know about you, but I have been taking way too many naps lately. I get a good eight hours of sleep almost every night. I seem to have developed this pattern of getting up around 3:00, but I quickly fall back to sleep. For some reason, though, I’m sleepy and ready for a …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. Salazar is this week’s curator …

Good Monday morning, my friends! It’s been bright and sunny but very cold here in Central Indiana. This week is supposed to see a warm up, and I’m ready for it. I just hope my plants don’t wake up only to be frozen when the temperatures will inevitably fall again. Anyway, welcome to the last …
