The Graduate
... from preschool. (!!!) Somehow I don't think she'll look much different in twelve years at the next big one and just the thought of that day brought a lump to my throat!

This - and every blue iris ....
I have so, so much to be thankful for ... spring and the blue iris are definitely on my list.
Best to View Large On Black
Praying
by Mary Oliver
It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

Rock On, Dude!
Quiet down cobwebs
Dust go to sleep ...
I'm rocking my grandson
and babies don't keep.

We've had rain, rain and more rain! A stopped up gutter (rocks thrown on the roof ... gee, wonder how that happened, Zach et al?) caused a bit of minor flooding. ;-)
The only rain-free day was Saturday when my wonderful trees were finally felled. I nearly cry each time I look out my window; I'll miss them and the critters they brought my way. The remaining trees are now trimmed high for a safer canopy - but will make it very difficult to grab those great shots from the lower hanging branches.
He's awake NOW!!
Big brother was so sweet and helpful - tried his best to entertain and console with bubble-blowing and sharing toys ...
