Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
We had a wonderful Easter celebration with my husband’s family in Texas. Here are some vignettes of the trimmings. There was an Easter Egg Hunt for 14 kids who searched for plastic eggs filled with chocolate and money (my youngest found the most: $18.30, which was comprised of 11 dollar coins and change!). The youngest … Read more

The weather is a delight. The sweet air and
the sound of falling water refreshes the soul.
I took these photos in two different spots. The tightly closed wet ones were taken this morning before a breakfast meeting with early sun after last night’s rain.
Here are some close-up photos of spring splashing forth. Gushing, gurgling, trickling, spewing, rippling, murmuring, sloshing, moving in March. Enjoy!
Yesterday in my blog there were close-up reflections of March here, so I thought it only fitting to offer today some reflections in context.

Our woods here are decked out in St. Patrick’s Day green. Check out these photos of March moss… Enjoy!

The church flower committee contribution basking in the sun on our front table is a joy to see.
As chairman of the church flower committee we brought these amaryllis which simultaneously had thirty one blooms on them.
After a dazzling morning flurry I was able to snap a few pictures before the sun came out to melt it…
Not the fairyland aftermath of an ice storm in sunshine, since it rained all day today, but a fascinating mood was created nonetheless…
We went to the International Debutante Ball at the Waldorf-Astoria NYC this week to honor my niece. Beautiful flowers, dresses and men in white tie and tails…
