Hop in Dork!

We've got a new year to get to!

Better Late Than Never?

I think that depends entirely on who you ask, but for anyone eagerly anticipating my bi-annual color gripefest, the wait is finally over.  Let's get into it!

Merry Christmas!

 

Few things bring me more joy throughout the holiday season than my neighbor's baby blue spruce all dressed up in its party clothes.  This certainly isn't the biggest display on the block, and it's not even the biggest tree on the parcel, it's just some little dude in the corner of the flower bed, donning a single string of old fashioned lights, with a pointy glass topper -- just a tiny showcase on a sleepy street that gives me a reason to pause and take in the splendor of the moment, and I absolutely love him.

Wishing you all a season full of love, and wonder, and joy.

 

Full Of It

"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it."

-John Burroughs, Winter Sunshine

The Calling

 

24/7

"May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right."

-Peter Marshall

"Color is My Day-Long Obsession, Joy, and Torment" -Claude Monet

Preach, Claude, preach.

In the Flash

"Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the Summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day ... Make a wish and think of me."  -Robin Williams
