Thank God some of my texts have a sense of humor. This from a list of communication patterns between librarians and users:
"It is harder and harder for experts to understand even what other experts are saying. Using a scale from plus 50 to minus 50, the vocabulary of the more technical fields rank close to 50. Popular magazines and newspapers would be between 0 and 10. A boy chatting with a cow would be about minus 50. Some laypeople feel more at home with the cow.

"The miracles of nature do not seem miracles because they are so common. If no one had ever seen a flower, even a dandelion would be the most startling event in the world.”

Scatterlings© is a collection of self-directed enchantment art which combines actual foliage with watercolor and color pencil mediums. Hidden among the actual and rendered foliage are an enchanted assortment of ‘Scatterlings’©; mythical animals and fairies.
Forming ’something’ out of ‘the nothing’ often overlooked in everyday life, these one-of-a-kind folk art pieces take up to a year to complete as flowers and leaves are collected, pressed, preserved and finally hidden within a vision that evolves continually. Although preserved in the same manner as a piece of handmade paper. Within the larger pieces packets of silica gel are placed between the original and the frame to absorb humidity. Though framed, each piece continues to be fragile and must be handled with extra care. As with most pieces of fine art; the original should not be placed in a window or beneath bright light. Each original piece is copyrighted.
