A brief moment...

A brief moment is exactly what it was...


For just a short while 
The beautiful cherry trees 
Were covered with pink.

                                                            Haiku by G. 

Now the rains have washed all the blooms away, and the trees are covered with red leaves.  What remains of the petals lay like melting pink snow by the side of the road.  I miss the blossoms.

A walk by the river

Took a walk by the river with my darling son about a week ago and took a few pictures.

This is the one I liked best.

Well, what do you think?  Not just about the photo, but here's the deal... I have a new computer and am able to access my photos for blogging easily.  That I think, for me, is the key to more frequent blogging... easy access to my photos.  I feel pleased!  :-)

Cat's in the bag...

One of China's favorite hiding places...

He weighs 10 pounds now...
And he is not even 6 months old...

New craft...

Suzanne and I took a wire/beading class, and look what we did...

These are the ones I did in class...

These are the ones Suzanne did in class...

Here is a melange of pretties...

I am a bit disappointed in the photos though,
they are a somewhat faded looking compaired to the
real deal which are quite bright and pretty.

Faded photos aside, we have all kinds of ideas - some for pins, some for "pendents", some for earings.  The one to the far right might be pretty on a neck chain, don't you think or maybe a ribbon.   Feed back is always good.  xoxoxo G. :-)
