A Quick Waltz Through Lyons Art Walk Weekend
By Chrystal DeCoster
Waltzing through the town of Lyons this past weekend were arts - two three, music - two three, and film - two three.

Yarn Bomb?
Sandra De Vries is a Dutch artist, who has been friends with Lyons artist Jacob Leeuwenburgh (also from Netherlands) since they were in high school.

Bucolic Plague
I’ve got the Bucolic Plague
All my thoughts
Pastoral, rustic
Serene
Non-toxic
No weeds

Tilling over the brown dead winter
Expectations of possibility
Is it contagious?
