These are the same trees as in the previous picture... just a different season.

One day I'll have a flute like this!

This was actually a selfie; I took it with my DSLR, which has a timer, and a tripod. It wasn't easy to get a shot because I had to go to the tripod with Myrna, and then run us both back into position.

When I'm not playing petz, I'm enjoying life on the farm where I live and teach horseback riding to typical and therapeutic students. When I come inside, I am transformed from riding instructor to graphic designer, and I design websites and am the art director of Sing Out!, a folk music magazine.
On the rare occasion that I get to leave the property, I love to play flute (and sometimes even sing) at local Irish sessions.
Christ, You Often Sat At Dinner
...and occasionally, very occasionally, I write poetry:
Stopping My Work On A Sunny Morning
Andréa A. DeCarlo
Whose books are these, I think I know.
I should have read these a long time ago!
I'm running out of time, I fear
The pages are so very slow.
I certainly do think it queer
That our final exam is so near.
In a few more hours I will be done
With the last essay of the year.
I picture laying outside in the sun,
sleeping under the trees will be quite fun.
But into my mind quickly creep
the books that I have just begun.
These finals make me want to weep,
But I have GPAs to keep,
And essays to write before I sleep,
And essays to write before I sleep.
