Elizabeth - The best pastry chef in Washington County. This shell is on its way to becoming a strawberry glace' pie.

Sabbath Morning 3-17-07

I carved Beth Anne's name into the bark of this Beech Tree 31 years ago. I passed by the tree recently and was happy to find that her name remains on this tree as it does in my heart.

Spring Peepers

Last night after dark and again this morning when I stepped outside before dawn I heard a lovely, high-pitched, pulsating sound. At the same time I sensed the warmth of the air and the smell of thawing soil. Spring Peepers, Cardinals' songs, longer days, and first crocus seen are all unmistakable signs of spring. Almost before spring begins I become wistful knowing that it will not last. Perhaps that is why we love spring so much, it carries the knowledge that "Nothing gold can stay".
