Maggie was a great dog, friend, and companion.
She will be missed by all those that knew her.  
Maggie was a familiar face at any gathering in our area.  
Whether it be Art in the Woods, the Stillmore Christmas 
Parade, or a fremily get together....Maggie was there
with a smile on her face and her 'happy meter' wagging
just as hard as it could go.  

Earth Hour- March 29. 8PM.  Check it out and participate. 

Also on March 29.  Art in the Woods.  Stillmore, Ga. 

Don't forget to listen to the GPB visit to Art in the Woods.

And, as for postcrossing, my postcard has arrived in Finland.  I'll be sending another postcard off this week. 

 

I hope to see you all at Art in the Woods.  Those of you that have participated in the Stones Collaboration think of those stones this Saturday as the installation will be unveiled for another Art in the Woods festival.

If you have yet to visit postcrossing.com it is certainly worth the trip.  I just signed up and will be sending a handmade postcard to Anne in Finland after I finish typing this post.  Sign up, sign on, and start communicating.  Again, Art in the Woods is on the horizon.  March 29 is the date.  It is not to late to send stones in from your part of the globe to participate in this global collaboration/installation.  Keep in touch.

was the birthday of Dr. Seuss.  Do you remember the Lorax who speaks for the trees??

Mark the calendar, save the date....Art in the Woods is coming soon.  

Only minutes ago, in the backyard, we sat and watched the Earth' shadow crawl slowly across the surface of the moon.  The color of the moon shifting from an light cream color, to a deep yellow, and then to a translucent red oxide.  The display was beautiful.  Afterwards the telescope was aimed at Saturn.  Seeing the rings of Saturn was an awesome experience.  The sphere surrounded by rings, the negative space between the two objects...beautiful. I hope you all got a chance to view the eclipse unfolding.  We have an hour before we see the Moon begin to crawl out of the Earths shadow, once again brightly lighting the night.

Tonight is the night for another Second Saturday event in Downtown Swainsboro.  Come out and show your support for the arts.  The event runs from 5-8 pm with live music afterwards.  Plus, Desmundogallery.com has put up the door prize for tonight's Gallery Stroll.  I hope to see you there.

"The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows."
