Ah, back when my son was little, and each daily word and thought was ‘mom-ish’

Polli Protest Loves Gettin’ Into Good Trouble


Yesterday in Newburgh, New York
This was Polli’s first Good Trouble protest.
I tag along to make sure she doesn’t get into any other kind of trouble🙂

Little Boy, Big Towel

Way back – when I used to take photo pics of my kiddies. If Max struck this same pose today, He’d need a much larger towel❤️
(I deep-dove into my older WP posts this morning. I’m going to re-post some. I so enjoy the merging of image & words)

Hope you’re all managing

Sharing a Vito Memory

My dad’s birthday is July 12th, and he’s been on my mind-truthfully-the man is never not on my mind❤️

WE THE PEOPLE

It is the 4th of July 🇺🇸 I believe in America 🇺🇸 I believe in democracy 🇺🇸 I believe man’s hubris is capable of darkening the stars 🇺🇸

I believe in empathy & kindness ❤️ I believe in the power of perseverance when driven by love ❤️ I will never give up on “WE THE PEOPLE” ❤️

Ghost Guns; Homage To Jacob Marley

Sculpture no.10 – finally finished! Many, many pieces to mold when you’re attempting to create a ghost horse dragging a palette of random bones and skulls to the boneyard…

I call this piece – Ghost Guns; Homage to Jacob Marley.
The horse is named Gilpin in tribute to my favorite poetess, Laura Gilpin
This sculpt was created with air dry clay, she weighs in at 20 pounds, 2 ft long, 1 1/2 ft high, 1 1/2 ft across

I hope you’re managing the days…

A day of peaceful protest
Newburgh, NY, June 14, 2025

Polli Protest has accompanied me to several protests now.

Sculpt no.9 – Major Tom aka Hank-Olin

Sculpt no.9 – it seems I’ve entered my love-of-Bowie phase late in life. During Major Tom’s aka Hank-Olin’s creation, the best of Bowie rocked my studio. (this sculpt stands at 22 inches tall and weighs approx 18 pounds – Hank is weightless in space of course)

Hank-Olin is near to my heart ❤️ He needs care and love – as he is sweet and kind. He’s concerned over earth’s fate, so he has tethered our precious blue marble to his space mitt. He’ll hold on as long as possible…

If you’re ever in the area and you’ve not been yet, the UFO Fair in Pine Bush, NY, is a gas.
Saturday, June 7th, 10am to 4 pm. Rain date – June 8th. May the fun be with you👽

Onward and upward we all spin on this crazy blue marble!

am:)
