About

Artist/illustrator living on Apifera Farm where I am surrounded by my many animal muses. Follow along as I stumble through novice shepherd lessons, raise 4000 lavender plants with my landscaper husband, and write and illustrate stories with a cast of  old goats, a one eyed pug, a chocolate lab named after a pie, sheep, a sturdy horse, chickens including the Three Janes, and mini donkeys who have pie parties. Life, death, drama, it's all there.

&quot;He LOVED it! I mentioned to you that he has always liked donkeys. A cousin of mine has minature donkeys, and when he was little we went to see them. He has never forgotten the experience. The ears of the donkeys made a big impression, so your book was perfect. Harrison loved the apron with the pocket for carrying stuff. The idea of the mouse riding in there was so clever. Harrison asked me if I thought birds really could sit on a donkeys ears?, and then he said, &quot;That would be so much fun to see a bird on a donkey's. He was glad the donkey was wearing an apron with a mouse in his pocket.&quot; Harrison laughed at the ending when Pino painted two sets of ears. The grumpy sheep was also quite endearing. Harrison got the message about not listening to the sheep, and that's another reason I love your book. He told me he was glad Pino had a good friend like the little mouse. &quot;
