The new year has begun...

and how lovely she is....

We attended a wedding briefly before the new year began...

a daughter of friends....

she is a lawyer in training.....

and lovely as can be.....

iPhone would have been a better choice for photos....

but I do love the back of this dress....

I hope that your new year has been pleasant 

and that the ensuing year will be 

generous to you...

smiles.

Trying new things....

Friend of mine......

trying to move old company into the 21st century.....

Hard to convince old timers...

Hard to be accepted by narrow minded twits....

Hard to come up with something for everyone....

Must be hard to be cutting edge...

Mr. Elder, good luck!

The garden party has begun...

Yes, The maples have their red buds..

The Bradford Pears are in full bloom, even some green leaves,

the hydrangea has little Green sprouts all over,

daffodils are bent and crumpled....

Periwinkle is "purpleing out"
POLLEN is Everywhere.

My hands get itchy this time of year.

It' as though they can't wait

to feel the dirt beneath their nails.

And my feet long for the warmth of the spring sidewalk.

Gardening tools need cleaning,

hoses need replacing,

compost needs spreading,

and I can't wait.

The garden center is my heaven.

Statuary, tools, bags of loam,

gadgets, hanging ferns, and

Plants I've never owned.

New life.....

New attitude....

New beginnings....

Heaven.
