Listening to the universe

  Sometimes the universe tells you that it is time to go home.

Western Oklahoma is made for chasing storms; and it seems we always race a front from the Panhandle into Woodward.  This time there was a 25 degree F gradient as we passed through the storm.

It seems that Mother Nature does abhor a vacuum.

Thank you Debbie.

Cleaning day.   

Humpty Dumpty

This Humpty Dumpty climbed up a ladder

As part of cleaning the roof.

I made a great clatter -

Indeed a large splatter

as my spine and ankle went poof.

So now I do cut outs

quite like Matisse.

Counting the days

compiling my griefs.

Here then, recent work.

Malibu lazy.

Up to my knees in surf.

It took a few days for the beauty of this place to sink in. We've dined at inn of the seventh ray and at the reel inn and dukes. We've seen the current show of the California art club. We've gone beyond 'the Valley' to visit Santa Clarita and my friend Clay and his family. We've taken a mid - night run to the Ontario airport. We've driven sunset Blvd and lunched with the UCLA crowd.

Been here about as long as the Pacific coast highway.

Osage County Oklahoma.

Gravel roads, dust, wind and grass

populate the plains.

Oil production equipment

 peppers the landscape.

Farms and fields float with

fences and ponds, grass and cattle to punctuate;

horizon and sky delineate;
