Tiny detail from a huge wall mural inside Main Street Landing in Burlington.
If I can find out who the artist was, I'll post.

For Mom


































I picked this gorgeous window for today, as this would have been my Mom's 84th birthday.
(No, that's not her name...but she would have liked the design.)

Regarding the Grands


























Whenever I spruce up the Children's Corner at the Library, I always set these three dolls on top of the pile. In the center is "Baby Kate" who always makes me think of Youngest*Grand (whom we gave a Baby Kate to last year, as she liked this one so much). To her left is D.W., Baby Kate's older sister, who therefore always makes me think of Eldest*Grand. To her left is Madeline, who always makes me think of VT*Grand, who looks so good in hats. :-)

It's time to put on your Spring plumage!


































Technically, he's putting on Summer plumage,
but I think of the molting phase as Spring plumage.

True Colors
Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there
I can't remember when I last saw you laugh.
And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors,
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow
