A Blur.

I've been freezing at a lot of track meets lately. Driving the Mom Taxi frenetically  back and forth to dance rehearsals, pictures, and practices. 

As I looked back through some recent track pictures I came across this one. 

An obvious accident. A miss-take as someone crawled over me in the bleachers. And then I thought that as this school year spins chaotically to a finish, this picture, perhaps says it all?

This Busy Time...

Oh aren't we all just crazy busy?

Decking the halls and fa-la-la-la-la-ing?

I have artwork due and have been spending a lot of time in my studio. At least I'm not alone. Here's a picture of my assistant. It is his job to follow me to the studio, curl up like a large, puffy kitten, and sleep on his bed under my board. After all, he's very tired after a long morning of resting.

More soon, but for now I'm trying to...

Slow down.

Remember.

Enjoy.

It is what it is.

A Pause.

My daughter took this amazing picture with her phone. I don't think I've ever seen a sunset quite like this...

It was at my son's soccer game.

It was at the end of a busy weekend of organizing, and traveling, and watching.

And at the end of the final game, at the end of all the above mentioned busy-ness---

this happened. 

People stopped and stood in the center of the field and gazed at the sky. It was as if all the chaos and mayhem, and bustling, and refereeing was suspended in time...

A pause.
