roses, before the deer would eat the blossoms like lollypops
I love these roses. I wish that mine would bloom. But i never thought of deer eating the blossom straight off the plant. We have rabbits eating our strawberries, our blueberries & our roses. Yesterday evening we saw a teenage fox cross the main road around our house. Maybe the fox will scare every animal…
My Bat Mitzvah speech or how we conquered Dragons
I was asked by my Rabbi if I wished to say something wonderful about my daughter for her Bat Mitzvah. For him to ask me, was a standard question. But for me, it was akin to asking me to fight dragons. I told him I would think about it. I used this delaying tactic for…
Queen Ann’s Lace & Red clover
I think Queen Ann’s lace was made from white butterflies & snow flakes. One day I’m going to pull some Queen Ann’s lace & red clover from the ditch & plant it where its supposed to be. In my garden & in my vases to remind me of home. I like to think that the…

My new baby pink…

Happiest people captured on camera!!
And we look like we are the happiest women on the planet.
Even in your imperfection…
You still dazzle me. Cosmos appear so delicate, but they are very tough, very much like a woman. So cover me in cosmos, mostly white, sprinkle Queen Anne’s lace blossoms on me, just enough to make me sneeze them back up in the air, so I can watch them fall like snow flakes.
Veteran’s Memorial
Names of the fallen carved into cold granite. The names will remain, even time will have a hard time washing the names away. The contrast between the cold grey stone & the sunlit colors of fall is a peaceful one. One represents an absolute end, the other is signaling the end of a season, “and…
how my shoot began
then, as always, it turned into fun and tears (everyone) and begging (mom), bribing (mom). “Mommy will buy you a Mercedes-Benz if you just smile at the camera!” Kids are crazy, smiling one minute, turning into the hulk the next. I have three children much older then these, but I remember what it was like…
