There's been so much recent interest in adult coloring pages. Have you noticed? I saw features in major print and television media including CNN and the New York Times about the fashionable "new" art hobby to relax and get creative (not new to me, I've been making coloring pages for grownups for more than a decade).  Perhaps you've printed out and colored in a few of my designs from the

Frederick Douglass - May 30 1871 I never got comfortable with the changeover made by Congress in 1971 to move the date for Memorial Day observances to yet another Monday holiday. We observed Memorial Day on May 30 for more than 100 years -  from the end of the Civil War - when the graves of war dead on both sides were honored (decorated, as in Decoration Day) with flags and wreaths.

In Vermont and most of the Northeastern USA and Canada, we're hunkered down for the first big snowstorm of 2014. This is a true Nor'easter, with frigid cold sinking in from the Arctic and a big, moist coastal storm pushing up from the south. I've already measured 2.5 inches in my front yard this morning.

Every now and then I spot my clip art in use by a non-profit, school or club to make flyers, posters or newsletters. This week I was at a charity crafts fair in the lobby of Reading Hospital and spotted one of my favorite holiday clip art images, Christmas clip art of pies in a country pie carrier, on a flyer from a local orchard offering to take orders for fresh baked pies for the holiday.
