MAM Day I (Flight)

My dear sponsors welcome to day one of the 2026 March Arts Marathon. We’re getting off to a flying start! (The prompt for today was “Flight”).

For those of you who were sponsors in previous years but haven’t made a donation for this year and would like to please let me know and I’ll send you a link. If you do not want to receive these posts let me know that too and I will take your email off my list. Thanks,

BaaBaa is flying over Sodom Pond on a great blue heron and dreaming of basking in the sun in Culebra

For those who haven’t been introduced… BaaBaa is my loyal companion. They always were a big fan of Snoopy the Red Baron so I thought I’d give them this role in my post.

Here is how I put this image together (it’s a little crude because I don’t have fancy editing tools so I just make do with what I’ve got):

Flight helmet and goggles make BaaBaa feel like a real pilot

Whenever I want to meditate on my most peaceful memory I imagine myself in Culebra. How I wish I were there now!

This is a colored pencil drawing I made of a great blue heron

So there you have it. Enjoy…until tomorrow.

Day Four

Well now it’s April first. Happy April Fools Day? One of my very favorite holidays. We’re getting a little more of a handle on this Coronavirus thing – what it is, what it might do to us. Scary!

March Arts Marathon Day One

It all started that first fateful week of March 2020. My friend and I were thinking of going to an international puppetry festival in Montreal…But then we heard about this strange virus in China. Should we still go? Awww, what the heck, yes! Our hands we rubbed raw with hand sanitizer (the going preventive measure at the time if you remember) but we had an amazing week – fantastic puppet shows, walking the streets of Montreal, awesome natural history museum. Came home and then…(cliff hanger). Find out tomorrow in the next installment of the amazing adventures (or lack thereof) of the perilous pandemic pandemonium of rcgirl.
