Birds of Paradise
Today marked my 3 year wedding anniversary to my sweetie. 3 fabulous years and counting! I always thinks its cute how M's wedding anniversary is so near my own... another fiber that connects us. M's post has inspired me to reflect on my own anniversary.
My husband and I welcomed the discovery that we both were again on the same wavelength; we both incorporated the beautiful flowers known as Birds of Paradise in an element of our anniversary exchange. He surprised me with some flowers and amongst them was the Birds of Paradise! I presented him with a card that had the image of the flower. Ironic? I don't think so.

Spring has Sprung!

Spring time has arrived in full bloom! This past weekend officially ushered in glorious spring on March 20th. Of all the seasons, spring tops the list as a favorite of mine. Spring sees us transition from winter, when we think we can hardly bare another dreary day of bone chilling weather, to the good old summertime, when balmy days arrive and signal the start of barbecues and enjoyment of cool pools of water ripe for swimming. Spring is short-lived in my neck of the woods, and if you blink you will practically miss it. However, the weeks of spring we do have are absolutely fantastic... the right balance of sunshine and cool breezes... flowers bursting into bloom... birds twittering & butterflies galore. Everything that breathes seems to be gulping down the fresh air. Now is the time for renewal and a fresh start. By all means, enjoy the outdoors and the most beautiful art nature can offer up: SPRING.

How Do You Get to Wonderland?


A childhood favorite of mine... and in all honesty, still a favorite today... is the story of Alice in Wonderland. What child wouldn't want to tumble down that rabbit hole into a land where nature speaks and everything once unimaginable is perfectly natural? Yet you get your fill as things become a little mad, and realize nothing beats the sweetness of home and the comforts of your own world. Still, the story offers up imagery and experiences that sing to a child's imagination... and a means of escapism for the adult mind, if you still have a place in your heart for a wee bit of childish fun & whimsy. The newest installment of all things Alice is the Disney & Tim Burton movie collaboration Alice in Wonderland. While the classic 1951 animated version of Alice in Wonderland tells the story of Alice's first visit to Wonderland, the latest version has Alice returning to Wonderland after some years have passed. The imagery in both movies is fantastic... and who can top the outlandish characters that have become favorites? Apart from darling Alice, of course, there is the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, March Hare, Queen of Hearts, Caterpillar, and Tweedledee & Tweedledum. So, why IS a raven like a writing desk?
