so sad, my mom lost her mom today.
93 years, yet we used to tease her that she would outlive us all. A good life, a happy life, lived well.
Kids, grandkids, great-grandkids scurrying cross-country to meet on short notice. She would have loved that we are all getting together in Utah. It's a shame she'll missed it--and by only a few days.

caged flowers, bird
Fred brought this brass bird cage home years ago. I have no idea why, we don't have a bird.
Just in case he got an idea that we might need one, I placed a stuffed bird on the swing, added some flowers below and found a place for it all on top of the basement freezer. The first thing you see coming down the stairs.

wilted fruit
what a lovely texture, I can't get myself to throw these out. Yes, I guess I should have noticed this fruit in my studio going bad. Perhaps even made a fruit salad before it was too late. No, I didn't notice them in time, I was busy melting glass. Now I want to see how tiny they will shrink!

onions on blue and green
I've been thinking these past days about something my friend Karen told me last year. She was packing family heirlooms in anticipation of a wind shift and fire storm. She said, "it's simple to select what's important if the fire is right there...just grab the kids and get out!"
"But what do you pack when you have an hour? What about a day?"

bowl of fruit, morning light
yay, we have nearly 70 degrees here today. That means it will snow tomorrow, I'm certain. Off to the great outdoors with my camera!

night stand
we had the nicest Valentine's dinner last night, an early dinner at a favorite Indonesian restaurant in Princeton. Four amazing appetizers made up our meal, with a doggy bag for later.
My regular coconut drink was not available, so they brought the substitute, a jumbo coconut on a platter of orchids, with a pink umbrella hanging over the side. While shows of big plated, oversized, on-fire food or drink usually embarrasses me enough to send it away, this time I took it in both hands, despite the stares from the neighboring tables, I smiled at Fred and thanked the waiter.
