Have you noticed that I've been MIA? Well, we were on a fantastic Caribbean Cruise to...

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Grand Caymen, Caymen Islands

Cozumel, Mexico

Even as the fragrance and petals of these roses fade, they still enchant us with their everlasting beauty.

Window shopping in Europe...

Bavarian dressed mannequins in Munich

Haute couture in Paris

Mozart chocolates in Salzburg

Venetian carnival masks in Venice

I don't know what this flower is but I love the "frailty" of the soft periwinkle petals. Somebody?

A rose is a rose is a rose

Better late than never...for 3 years now, these Easter Lilies have bloomed in mid-May

Remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice...

Our breakfast nook window

A House Wren feathering her nest in a watering can at our front entrance

Greeting our guests in our guest bedroom

Beauty and the Beast in the Italian countryside

Colorful beautiful bouquet for a dreary rainy day

Proud Peacock struttin' his stuff in our neighborhood

A little corner of our backyard

My purple front door...Welcome!

Our backyard oasis
