  • Maybe We Are Flowers!

        If you could be a flower, which would you be? One of the brave first bloomers that tempt winter to send a late frost? How about a grand amaryllis, delicate on its long stem, yet stately and beautiful? Or perhaps a lily that lasts only a day?   Would you prefer to bloom in…

  • May Your Day Be Warm and Filled With Kindness

      Flamingos Glide Into Times Square in New York City!   They seem to have regained their color. It appears that the hot chocolate the was so kindly shared with them in Baltimore has revived them.   It's Christmas Eve, how are you doing? Are you getting your color back and warming up to the…
