Was reminiscing about my roses where I used to live. This pink one is called Belinda‘s Dream. I cut red, white and pink roses for bouquets all over the house. So beautiful right after rain.

Happy Egg Day 🥚

When the children were young I began collecting eggs. Later on, my middle school students called me Mrs. Egg (in lieu of Eggleston).

“Life was like that, she guessed; it was all wrong until suddenly it was right, and you didn‘t really know how to react in either instance.”

The lives of American nurses serving in Vietnam 🇻🇳 was often a #RockyRoad😢

I #found a spine poem on my shelves:

Homebody life,
The knowing, trouble…

Kitchen table wisdom
in a special light.

Survival lessons
A tear and a smile
Man‘s search for meaning -
I‘d rather be reading

Cont‘d: Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

I‘ve been thinking about the Umlauf sculpture garden in Austin - the figures are evocative of life, love and all the emotions. And all are surrounded by native trees and ferns. A magical experience ✨
