Spammed
Have to figure out how to put up the annoying captcha thing...being attacked by spam and accidentally wiped out some good stuff trying to clean it up. What purpose does spam serve anyway? Really would like to know.

There are, it seems, two muses: the Muse of Inspiration, who gives us inarticulate visions and desires, and the Muse of Realization, who returns again and again to say "It is yet more difficult than you thought." This is the muse of form. It may be then that form serves us best when it works as an obstruction, to baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

The problem with epiphanies is that they can't sustain you forever. They are as fragile and ephemeral as the words in Charlotte's webs.

Happy Father's Day
A man's children and his garden both reflect the amount of weeding done during the growing season.
-- Anonymous.
To my husband who has such great love for his children, who has helped them all grow into fine, smart, compassionate, funny, aware people. Love you. And also to my Father, George, missed and loved. Happy Father's Day.

The Fruit and Vegetable Market
A recent discovery of a great market, Rancho Grande, near my job packed with fruits and vegetables at extremely reasonable prices, as well as some unique market finds there and a great meat/cold cuts section as well. Hello Cobb Salad all summer. Add to that two farmer's markets in full swing on Fridays and Saturdays, I am summer happy with healthy choices. Now I just need to find a recipe on how to cook these gorgeous cranberry beans.

Sunday Quote
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
- Emily Dickinson

Didn't get a pony for his birthday
but had a swell one anyway. Not that he even wanted a pony, the newly minted 14 year old. Although I might. Hard to believe my youngest is now 14. Grateful the rain held off, a good time held by all, and as thunder rolls overheads, time to turn this puppy off.

Happy Birthday, Jess.
A long ago photo taken by the newspaper folks when she was painting at a SONO street festival. Happy Birthday to my creative, beautiful, brilliant, and spirited daughter. We love you, babe!

Confirmation Day
Here are some proud Mamas and Papas hanging with their spring fresh young. My youngest is getting confirmed today, he looks quite the man in his suit. Time really does fly. Before I break into Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof, I need to figure out what shoes I am wearing to the event.

Our deer visitors
Although I think it has now become more of a neighbor thing as they seem to really like the wooded area way back behind the house. There were three of them this time but my camera and I were not quick enough.

They continued doggedly with their reading lessons, for in times of stress a good book is often all the comfort you can reasonably expect to find.

Little Road Trip
An impromptu jaunt to Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island on Sunday.
It felt very New England but that is the seaside effect, I think, the Northeast coast always sings of whales and tales and salty history, my favorite haunts.
A nice stroll, delicious iced coffee and snacks at a great place called Sweetie Pies where you could eat out on the covered porch and admire Spring.
too late for the whaling museum which has what must be the most handsome mannequin I have ever seen - isn't he? And then back over the bridge, homeward bound.
