Every season, month, & day has Love in it, yet February is filled with dreamy hearts, enticing chocolates and ever-present reminders of Cupid’s Arrows. We’ll take what we can get. Even in February, we can usually revel in Oregon’s mild and luscious climate, and  know that Spring is not far off.


Indeed I spoke too soon as ice and snow just roared in!  Many had power outages.  Though housebound for days we thankfully had power, warmth and hot chocolate.  With forced staycation we got to projects, books and fireside chats.



Below the ice has captured a remnant of a flower where it is transfigured into a shooting star. I am reminded how the sky and the earth are sister & brother with no true boundaries between them, just infinite possibilities.



Recently at the NYC aquarium we got to see the underwater gardens of iridescent, spectacular fish of every stripe and hue. Here against a 3D backdrop of gliding sting rays, anemones, coral reefs & tree like sponge plants we saw our grandchildren crawling through an underground tunnel with the waters around and above them!
