blue moon blessings
by gl. at 11:25 pm
today i delivered 22 moon pies all across portland as sweet reminders of how much i appreciate supporters of the studio, whether that's as a former artist's way client, a colleague, or a co-conspirator.
hand-delivering that many treats took over 8 hours of non-stop driving, but i was rewarded by getting a tour of emma's "new" apartment, eating a homemade orange-cranberry muffin, peeking into linda's new studio, seeing the art alisa is making in her studio, meeting elizabeth's daughter maya, holding dayna's grandson emmett, learning ohsu is its own city, surviving beaverton traffic, and seeing people i haven't seen in a while (and, um, some i saw just yesterday).
as i was finally driving home, the blue moon rose huge and heavy (and orange!) in the sky and i diverted myself onto mt. tabor to watch her glow, the lights of portland twinkling beneath her. to her left was jupiter, strong and bright; to her right was antares, the red heart of the scorpion. may the june moon find you healthy, happy, and inspired.

Gretchin,
Thanks so much for the moon pie and the visit! It's always nice to see you and wonderful to have you be one of the first visitors to my still dusty studio. :)
Happy June, Linda

Thank you, Gretchin, for the delightful treat. I sure worried about you in that Beaverton traffic! I wish I could have been home to see you -- although my studio is far from inspiring at the moment! There are many of us out here who greatly appreciate you and the Studio.

What a charming idea, Gretchin! Worth doing once in a blue... well you know.

thanks, guys! yes, it was definitely a "once in a blue moon" sort of thing, but i'm really glad it did it! so fun to see everyone or to leave them as surprises. i had originally intended to create an event at the studio but couldn't think of anything, and i like giving away treats!
