About Me
- Name: 'Zann
- Location: Terre Haute, Indiana, United States
Professor's widow, mother of four, zannma to two. Grew up in Coral Gables, Florida, transplanted to Indiana at age 40, where I saw my first snow and learned to love wool. We homeschooled three of the kids, I helped to create a used bookshop ( Wabash River Books 1996-2005)and became an online bookseller. I started this blog in 2005 to share my mid-life artwork (primarily fiber), poetry and creative explorations. On March 18, 2006 my 20 year-old son Patrick died...and my world irrevocably changed.
On January 7, 2024, my beloved husband Paul Burkett died...and my world irrevocably changed.
I own 73 years now. Life is still very mysterious, magickal, beautiful and sweet and sad.

Lovely. :)
Nice thoughts and image. It's raining here today, but so cold and windy that I'll just stay inside and enjoy your image instead of venturing out.
I'd love to see some rain. They were actually talking in the paper here that while normal humidity should be about 50% for this time of the year, it's been less than 10% for weeks!! Even my jeans have static electricity!
PS: I meant to mention that I love the new hair color.
it is raining here today! how did you know? the perfect illo and words!!!
Lovely illustration. The poem added just the right touch.
