More power to flowers










Cherry blossoms on trees not tattoos!











It's difficult for me to edit my pictures down since I want so desperately to share everything my eyes see with your eyes.





The flowers even bloom on the trunk and make me want to join them and put flowers in my hair.

RIP Elizabeth Taylor

So I just found out Elizabeth died and am, obviously sad about the another reminder that I'm this age and people I grew up loving are dropping like flies. (did I get that cliche right? I tend to get them mixed up.) it's the end of the world as I know it. Pop music has started sucking for me too. And I cling to the past just like those brave generations before me. I'm still not wise enough! I'm still so flawed. I killed all my thyme in warp speed. My herbal thyme is a metaphor for the real meaningful business of time. (I would actually call it accidental manslaughter or something to that affect.)

On a less heavy and sillier note, Blake texted me the news of Elizabeth's death like this, 'Elizabeth Taylor died'. But I didn't take it on it's literal meaning (or refused to believe it). I thought Blake was announcing the death of the little drama queen inside him. But then The View said something about Elizabeth Taylor and I realized I wasn't celebrating the death of a mellow dramatic superstar, but mourning it.

Here's a picture of me acting determined.




I'm trying to embrace the way I look since i'm a wise old woman now.

We love you, granny Jo!

There were many lovely flowers out today, here are the ones that really outshone their friends of flora in the pursuit of happiness.































This little guy is really hoping for some good luck. Its been so long since he had blooms or leaves he's forgotten what it feels like. We're all rooting for ya!















And then some more beautiful sidewalk art.



This particular entry is especially bright and happy for you, granny Jo! Hope you're feeling better soon.

Too bad the weather sucked the whole time the kids were here. It's been gorgeous ever since they left. I've got a cough and spring fever. Can't wait for warm weather, visits from friends, margaritas and swimming holes! And for a much needed Texas visit.















































Blake is looking for his friend emmit otter.
