VOTE TODAY . . .
Today we have the opportunity to be involved in one of our most important rights as Americans. I voted early last week to avoid the crowds. It’s a typical election day. Rainy skies persist and many will opt out of … Continue reading
DAYS TO COME . . .
Today’s art by Paul is a watercolor pencil drawing. These wild areas were special favorites of the artist. I also have a fondness for this time of year, when things begin to go into a metamorphic state. All leading to … Continue reading

THE POWER OF A BOOK . . .

RESONANCE . . .
POETRY BY KATHY BOECHER© Change is coming, you can feel the vibrations in your soul, Sounds ravage across mountainous crevasses, Bouncing, Reverberating, Echoing back and forth, New sounds with each step, Thunderous sounds of wings flapping, Making their way to warmer … Continue reading

SUNDAY PRAYER . . .
ART BY PAUL BOECHER – INSPIRATION BY KATHY BOECHER In my lifetime I have experienced living with little, living modestly, living with means and living with little once again. When you have money, it doesn’t mean you’re happier or twice … Continue reading
NATURE’S LAST HURRAH . . .
ORIGINAL ART & POETRY BY KATHY BOECHER© God has blessed us with four seasons where I live. Autumn is my favorite because it brings forth new vibrant colors, clear fresh air and cooler temperatures. It is a precursor to winter, which … Continue reading
OCTOBER 12TH – WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

A BAZILLION DREAMS . . .
One of my favorite songs from “The Greatest Showman,” is “A Million Dreams.” The story of the famous P.T. Barnum is told through music, dance and a cast of many is one filled with dreams. Barnum looked nothing like Hugh … Continue reading
CARVING A PATH . . .

ORIGINAL ART & INSPIRATION BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER© Imagine what the early explorers of America thought when they reached what now is Yellowstone National Park. What would you think when seeing the paint pots of simmering smoke? Colors that … Continue reading
NEVER GIVE UP . . .

FINDING PEACE . . .
ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER This painting shows the change of season. We are still in the beginning stages of this transition, but soon all the foliage will lay helplessly on the floor of the forest. It will … Continue reading
