Sleeping Beauties

I think the pigs are getting a little bigger - we visited during naptime. They look very happy snoozing away. (Photo taken 4/14)

Piggie Update

I found out the little porkers are 8 weeks old. CUTE.

My Freesias.
These are from last year's bulbs - next year, I'm putting in many, many more.  Such lovely joy to me.

Before they were bacon . . .

The piglets at the FFA farm near my house -- where I like to walk, and where there are also chickens, ducks, goats and cows being raised by kids, not to mention they have a garden and greenhouse where next weekend we will be buying vegetable plants for our garden. A very fun and relaxing place.

Almost the Rowboat

Last Sunday, we attended a lovely party and reading celebrating the publication of our friend Kathleen McClung's ALMOST THE ROWBOAT. Kathleen's an accomplished poet, and she writes - and reads - beautifully. Congratulations, and may she be recognized by many more people in coming years!

Here's a group shot of some of us with Kathleen at the reception.

View from the Zephyr

Recently returned from a wonderful trip on the California Zephyr, which featured amazing views, here's one of the shots, taken from the train window.

May 5 Supermoon

The moon on May 5th was a "supermoon" - Here are photos we took - it was lovely and had a magical quality and I couldn't help but think it must have inspired the creator of "Moonstruck."
