“I feel there is something unexplored about women that only a woman can explore...”

Quotes from Georgia O’Keeffe.

Next cataract surgery is on Tuesday; I’m looking forward to it, and so are my eyes, thrilled to soak up color and light. I love the idea – credit Georgia – that I am causing some people to take a closer look at flowers, as I have done with artists before me. It is both satisfying and gratifying. Thanks so much for your support and kind words.

Social media has not always been a gentle place. You are changing that. We are changing that on the blog. I have stopped hurting people who try to hurt me. It feels joyous. We are proving it can be done.
