Mother’s Day redux

Published on May 10, 2010

Tweet The holiday was first about my killing myself to get my mom’s gift to Mississippi in time for the exalted day. In spite of the fact that Joel from Brown’s Fine Art and I had conspired in the fall of last year to deal with this issue, I did not find the time to […]

Tweet It’s a great coincidence that the PBS Super Sisters’ Great Day of Gratitude would fall on this day.

Roses!

Published on April 16, 2010

Tweet I grew up in a landscape of lush green grass and towering trees – the climate would allow a few nice flowering plants, like azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas, and gardenias, but the Southern gardener would have to work really hard to get roses to bloom as rampantly as they do here in my neighborhood. I […]
