Birthday Cards

Happy Birthday to Bill with homemade cards Blake and Isabel.  The lottery tickets won us $2.

Family Photo

Here we are... one big happy family on Easter Sunday at Christ Episcopal Church, Middle Haddam, CT.  Mollie (on the left) will be 3 years old on May 20th and Emmie (on the right) will be 2 years old on June 2nd.  We reserve the right to keep our ages under wraps... okay, we are older than 21 but younger than 60.  You can guess.  Lots of love to all who preview this photo.

Coffee, tea, treats, plant and other special events in my office

This is a photo of the wall across from my desk.  The little box is filled with cash and coins from all the donations for the coffee, cocoa, and tea drinks.

Yarn and needles.

This little gem was taken while I was creating a photo lesson for my Green Street Arts Center students. The scarf is still a work in progress.

Yellow crocus on the first day of spring 2013.

We had a spring snow storm in March.  Our yellow crocus had just bloomed.  Fortunately the snow melted quickly once the sun came out.

Emmie loves to have her photo taken.

Purple flower

A purple flower is the first sign that warmer temperatures are on the way.
