A Birthday in the year 2020
The Birthday girl!
I’ll never, ever forget the joy that the birth of this girl brought to our family!
It was a cold, November 12, and sunny snow showers were in the air in Morristown, NJ.
My parents had sold their home, and were scheduled to move the day Tiff was born.
We waited with deep breaths to know if it was a boy, or a girl!
It’s a girl! 🌸
Everyone quickly celebrated together
and bought every bit of merchandise available
that had the name
“Tiffany”
inscribed!
Pencils, paper, keychains, ornaments, magnets, you name it!
We had it!
Our plan this year was to drive out for a BD visit,
but that all took a reverse direction.
The Corona Virus stopped us in our tracks.
WI has a higher death rate, travel is restricted and BD plans
Have to be put on hold.
Still, I celebrate Tiff in my heart today.
I will never, ever forget Nov. 12th.
My true Birthday gift.

I Will Never Forget
It’s hard to believe that 19 years ago our world as we knew it changed forever.
I remember a beautiful Tuesday morning, playing in the garden before our office meeting.
The kids were tucked in their classrooms at Blair Academy, Wes was off to work.
I went inside to get ready for work, and that’s when I realized our country was under attack.
Astonishing TV images of the planes hitting The World Trade Center.
Then The Pentagon.
Then Pennsylvania as I remember.
A sickening situation that grew worse as the day went on.
I went to work, put on the TV at the office, and it was then that we as a group
learned that our admin’s son was an employee at The World Trade Center.
We paused in a deep moment of silence,
which grew more grim as the day went on.
Yes, Bruce Simmons at 41 years old perished,
leaving a wife and 3 children behind.
I bow my head to all of the victims, their families, the first responders and to
the rest of the good people who experienced this horror.
As the pandemic continues, the fires rage, and the children wonder,
I hope there is resolve for peace and love in our world.
Vote!
With love and hugs.

When Life Makes Other Plans for You
Today was supposed to be the first of 7 vacation days for us.
A surprise festival of love and sunshine.
All of us together once again!
Harper, Taylor, Tiff and Matt.
Tim and Lauren!
Destination: St. Pete’s Beach.
But that took a back seat to the Coronavirus.
Our trip is cancelled.
The US has closed.
Schools, restaurants, gyms, and corporate America all sit vacant.
Masked shoppers stand 6 feet apart in the essential businesses.
Illness and fear are knocking on our doors.
Roads are empty, and today the parks are closed.
It’s been almost a month now that this nasty little germ infected the US.
Staggering amounts of deaths,
And today it took away John Prine.
A soft spring rain is falling,
The flowers continue to bloom,
the birds continue their songs.
The rivers are flowing, and a pink moon shines above.
Until COVID passes, stay well.
Stay 6 feet apart.
With love and hugs.

August?
Our little town has a new makeshift wildlife sanctuary.
Although many people are complaining about the situation,
I am enjoying it on a daily basis.
Snowy Egrets, (snowy egrets!),
Heron,
Kingfishers,Turtles, Ducks,
by the droves.
So fantastic!
I’m a Heron addict!
Enjoy the last days of Summer.
With love and hugs.

Summer!
Leaving the house,
I went out to see
the frog, for example,
In her shiny green skin;
and her eggs
like a slippery veil;
and her eyes
with their golden rims;
and the pond
with its risen lilies;
and it’s warmed shores
dotted with pink flowers;
and the long, windless afternoon;
and the white heron
like a dropped cloud,
taking one step
then standing awhile then taking
another, writing
her own soft footed poem
through the still waters.

June
I just happened to take a look at my blog today.
Wow. May 2nd.
30 days since my last post.
I was hoping to be more conscious of my
little digital scrapbook,
but life gets in the way.
So here we are in June.
I love the month.
It’s light, it’s roses, it’s flowers galore.
Cool nights, warm, sunny days.
This peony was in a client’s yard
and she called to me.
And I’m so glad to share.
Happy June!
With love and hugs.

Just Friday
Winter is slowly but surely waving good bye.
Buds are beginning to burst
their way through the soil.
Days are longer.
It’s time to plant your peas!
Happy Friday!
With love and hugs.

It’s been a long four months.
