All Being Said:
All being said I’ve been doing one form of art or another since I was old enough to hold a pencil. Although I’ve never had any formal training in art. However I’ve always turned and ran away from Watercolor like a scalded duck. But I’ll take a leap now and post what was my first attempt months and months ago. “Red Forest “.
Cold Deep Water
Given our very isolated existence and cold deep winters, with snow so high from the drifts off of the lake, it was often possible to walk from the lawn onto the roof of the houses. The lakes provide entertainment in all seasons.
Deep into the short frigid days ice fishing was a glorious relief from the cabin feverish days.
Through the tree lined path cut into the surrounding woods lay a perfect bit of run off, frozen solid. Enduring the crispy days and endless winter nights was as if someone or something had dropped a piece of almost perfectly rounded looking glass. The scenery surrounding it rivaled any Robert Frost poem or Currier and Ives Christmas cards.
- Together singing and yahooing our way through those woods, ice skates slung over our shoulders we would meander through the little tree lined path. Often still carrying on in our pretend Games of House’s chosen characters. Our games of house just seemed to carry on from one day tonight he next. There was four of us, three girls a boy and a little black and white dog. Who in her incessant loyalty favored our locations to any other. ( I just realized I desperately need a laptop, instead of writing on a smart phone) The smells here in our Secret Winter Playgrounds was amazing. Even now it seems I can recall every shard of frozen air in my nose. Red and shiny with the smells of a distant wood burning stove, the tall canopy of ever greens, and fresh snow.

In the past days I’ve been thinking about Abraham Lincoln. A wonderful Patriot in the fight of his life. Indeterminately whom was never able to enjoy the spoils of arguably his life’s purpose.
A great man with brilliant interpretations of human rights, the law, and the very fiber of our democracy as laid out in ” The Constitution of the United States of America”. When at the time many wondered if there would be a state of Union in this great land. The word United.. to bring together… What of it back in Lincoln’s day? I digress.
To my next thought of what a great mind and reputation such as honest Abe would think of his beloved Union of States and the very laws it was put upon?
The office of the Presidency, the meaning of the Constitution and all its almost inexplicable for thought?
The embarrassment I feel for that very office now, when I think of how other countries leader’s and citizens must sit back in amazement how this great country and masses of the super educated could stand for these shinanagans. A government as powerful and ingenuitive would need to be ” shut down” . And how this must translate to them.
Yes. Thoughts of the great presidencies this sea to shining sea has had, the blessings, surely of a higher power. If tyrant and propaganda could take over such a dinamic land, what hope is left for the democratic process in our lands abroad?
