This little aborted baby pumpkin was about to turn itself into compost in our community garden and its cuteness called out to me. I do love our little floating home village, and some of our residents make this a better place in which to live. I’m thinking of Rick in particular, president of our homeowners association, who works so hard to deal with pressing legal issues involving difficult problems with the marina owners and who delights in things like putting in a garden and growing pumpkins. 

It was a lovely day Saturday when our Brushes by the Bay group met in the marina, and I scouted around for subject matter, looking to the garden. Bingo. Our fearless group of artists dive into their paints and create remarkable works. So fun to see the processes and how we support each other in warm and kind ways. I’m feeling the abundance.
