and it is fitting that it is a memorial rose for my sweet Aunt Tillie (we call it Tillie’s Rose), who gardened well into her 90’s. We tend her garden and roses now and feel blessed by her past efforts.

happy easter…
no family gatherings, church or easter egg hunts…perhaps a good time for introspection…yes, I know like you’ve been doing for weeks on end anyway š

something brighter…
by a Portland Firehouse…not sure what it was, but expansive ground cover up to the old tree.

sometimes harsh…
āNature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.ā

a closer look…
at that Candytuft…in all the years, I never got close to really look at the ornate structure….just saw the bright, cheerful white from a distance.

a bright spot…
Candytuft (Iberis) was an old staple in my parent’s landscaping. I have always maintained a dash in our yard. I do wish it bloomed beyond Spring in the Pacific NW.

Optimism…
Yes, keep your ‘distance’ for now and be sensible, but also avoid the mental drain of paranoia. Group think is dangerous and not a survival mentality…it’s a herd mentality. Ā See the positives about you and turn off the negative echo chamber.
