Sign of Spring

Lisbeth and I ran a couple of errands yesterday and she noticed that Dairy Queen was open - a sure sign of spring around these parts! So of course we each had to partake of a small hot fudge sundae with lots of peanuts. And when we got back to Lis's house, we found Little Milkweed waiting with a rainbow on her head...

So glad that Lisbeth is having a good stretch! Have a peaceful weekend!

Of course Milkweed would be at one end of the rainbow! Cool!

Lisbeth's Blue Bird Angels Mandala

My daughter Lisbeth suffered a traumatic brain injury when she contracted a viral illness in 1988 at the age of six, and she continues to be challenged by multiple difficulties including uncontrolled seizures, behavioral disturbances, learning disabilities and developmental delay. Despite these challenges, Lisbeth's mighty spirit and creativity are remarkably intact. She creates extraordinarily beautiful cut paper snowflakes - hundreds of them (it is ironic that a cluster of seizures is called a "flurry...") and like real snowflakes, each one is unique. Lisbeth sometimes refers to her creations as "brains," which is poignant, for in the making of each snowflake/mandala, it is as if she is recreating her brain. Lisbeth sees figures, animals, and objects in the cutout shapes of each one of her designs, and says that these are what the brain is thinking!
