Here is a picture of the framed piece I talked about and I have also copied the poem I wrote.

The skies are turning a dull gray as the winds blow a chilling blast,
Each step resounds on the frosty ground.
The Frost Fairy has come at last to play within the canyon of time.
Crystal clear she lays on the river and lakes,
The trees she robes with the purest white,
With icicles shimming with rainbow hues and light.
Magic flowers in loving shapes, are part of her own devise,
She makes the windows gay with delight.
　
　
As the moon watches with surprise
For this is all done in a single might
Winter is coming , the Frost Fairy is working her magic,
As the winds blows, the Snow Fairy will be coming out to play.
Snow will be falling in the canyon of time.
May you find the time to come out dancing in the night,
And join the Frost Fairy dancing in the moonlight.
helping her make magic frost, looking like magical flowers in delight.
And icicles with rainbow hues and light.
　
So … Please ,Come out and dance,
Dance with the Fairies of Winter
Before it slips away.

Where am I ?

Here is a drawing I did of that chilly wind once feels as the snow starts to fly in the canyon. I even wrote a poem about the Frost Fairy and the wind and Snow Fairy. I did up a piece of scrape book paper and got a frame to fit it. I have shown it two times,and not one thing said about the poem. So I sit here and wonder this morning .. What am I doing? Where am I? I long to go back east, I miss my kids, I miss not being able to breathe, and have been told by many of Doctors that I need to get to a lower altitude,but here I am still at the Grand Canyon! I tell myself I am here because this is where my job is. But lately I have gotten to the point I don't like going into work. There are so silly things going on at work and it feels like I am back in High School. I Have been out of high school for a long time, I guess I don't want to play any reindeer games !

I also don't know where I would go if I left the canyon, back to New York? or Virginia? or somewhere else all together? I ask myself these questions and I don't have an answer yet. So I stay here ,thinking the answers will come when I am ready to hear them and I have to trust the universe that it knows what it is doing.

I am drawing more and being more creative, and maybe that is why I am still here to get more confidence in my artist talent. My fairies people seem to love them,but I haven't sold one for awhile. Which could be where I am showing them. I need to get them out to the visitors who come here or just find a shop close by who would sell them.

Where am I? I am here at the canyon, looking into the window of time and wondering how I fit into this world. or is it I don't fit anywhere... and I am just passing time till the next life's adventure? Or am I looking from the outside looking in the window and still see nothing? I have some how lost that inner peace I felt here , so does that mean it is time to move on and find another place that I will once again feel inner peace? The mind is just full of questions and once again I will have to wait till I am ready to hear the answers to all my questions . Soul searching is a hard path in times like these. So I draw using my water color pencils to find that inner joy and beauty I once saw. I take photos to see the inner beauty of this place called the Grand Canyon.

Winter is coming, frost is all around, the winds will be blowing and carrying the flakes of snow.

and here I sit,waiting for answers to come home.

Well, It has been awhile since I blogged. So I figured i would start out showing what i have been working on for the last few "months" I am hoping to start a blog about my fairies some time down the road, I am sure Sunni would say "it is about time!"
Spring has come to the canyon finally! The past winter was a hard one , more snow than I ever thought i would see since I came out west almost 3 years ago. I find it amazing I am going on 3 years working here at the Grand Canyon.
It just doesn't seem like I have been here that long. I am hoping now that nicer weather is here to get out and start walking again and walking the rim trail again. I have some health issues now and I just have to be more careful when it comes to exercising. Since I was so sick back in 2008-2009. It seems my body has decided to break down a little. Getting "old" is very hard to do! My mind is still young, but the body will tell me in a matter of moments," don't do that or you will be sorry" I joked the other day that I wish I could trade the body in for a newer one. but since that can't be done, I guess I will have to figure out how to get the body I have to do some of the things I enjoy. Getting it back in shape won't be easy, but who ever said Life would be easy!
Sunni and I when and had ice cream yesterday for lunch! yes I know that is not a great way to get the body back in shape. But it was Ohhh So Good! We sat outside and enjoy a nice warm day!

I do hope all are well, and are able to enjoy the spring days that lay ahead.
