Destiny.


If she gets elected, then I really will believe in the Mayan calendar.

Spring 2011.


"In the cherry blossom's shade there's no such thing as a stranger."
-  Issa


Cherries and pear blossoms finally greeted us this weekend! Tomatoes are planted and baby robins are leaving their nests. There is nothing more energizing that a new spring. Full of hope and new life.

At last. The color green.



It has been a long winter. Welcome spring sunsets and green lawns.

If spring came but once a century instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all the hearts to behold the miraculous change.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Morning Visitor.



On our rare, sunny mornings so far this spring, this beautiful little dove has greeted me from a warm spot on the northeast corner of our porch railing. I sit peacefully and greet him back.


“And there my little doves did sit
With feathers softly brown
And glittering eyes that showed their right
To general Nature's deep delight.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
