Hi! I put this up on my Moon House Art blog just now, but wanted to share it here too - cause I'm not sure how often the other blog gets visited! Love you all so much! Katie
Greetings from a winter wonderland here in Vermont!
I've recently been thinking about family and how incredibly important and dear they are to me and how each and every one of them has shaped my life. More specifically I was thinking about Papa, my dad who lives in Kansas with my mom and twin brothers who are still at home. Papa and I have always gone on walks together around our prairie acreage and enjoy those moments being together and loving nature in it's peaceful, captivating and intriguing ways. I love walking out in that real world with Papa, noticing the little bugs in the grasses, picking out the different families of plants and growing things, and watching the birds flitting from tree to tree and feeling the wind on our skin. Papa always says the wind is the earth breathing, I love thinking of it in that way. We both have a sense of awe about the natural world - and I always love sharing that with him. With all of that in mind, this painting created itself of those times. Enjoy!

And there is perhaps no greater joy then walking with my Katie girl. And her picture so beautifully illustrates the many nights I carried baby Katie on my shoulders excitedly gazing at the moon. With her tiny toddler vocabulary she would squeal "The Moon" twisting always to keep it in sight. She was, and is, a joy. I love you Katiel
