Round town

Good day. Sunshine.

Round the garden

Last week was rainy and gloomy. Not so good for the humans, but our plants couldn't be happier.

Maypole

Ribbons, pearl and purple, dangle from the maypole down to the pale hands of children, who pull them, giggling.

NYC

Scenes to and from New York...

Flatscreen schmatscreen

We spent last weekend in New York City. We stayed at the Excelsior Hotel, which is a nice hotel in a great location -- but we had this lovely item for our viewing pleasure. If only I brought my VHS tapes!

Bye bye bees

When Anna was a baby, my mother decorated the nursery walls with this bumblebee stamp. Now, Anna has moved upstairs to a room with bunk beds, her baby room is becoming my office, and we're painting over the bees. We left one in a secret spot so I can look at it forlornly and remember my big girl's baby days. Sniff!

Hoppy Easter

A sunny but chilly Easter day. The bunny left some treats at our house, then we joined our neighbors for brunch and an egg hunt.
