My guess is this photo was […] […] If you listen to NPR you may have heard Anne Lamott’s interview. She is one of my favorite authors. She has a gentle way of putting things in perspective. If you haven’t heard or read her interview, treat yourself . . . Have a Blessed Easter! […] Thought this was one of the most beautiful videos on pollination I’ve seen. It starts out beautiful and just keeps getting better. Enjoy. . . Doesn’t this watercolor epitomize Spring, I am so looking forward to the smell of lilacs and watching the bees flit about from one tiny bloom to the next. Below is a […] […] |
