Be Ready!

September 12, 2021 Mom and I walked past the large group gathered, probably a few hundred, in the outdoor concert venue.

Caterpillar to a Butterfly

August 29, 2021 As we walked along a nearby street in our neighborhood, the familiar face of a homeowner, Tara, whose assortment of flowering plants I have long admired, stopped me with a sort of urgent question, “Do you like butterflies?!!” I replied, “Yes!!
