Happy birthday continual celebration Kathryn!! We’ve been making kites out of tyvek during this windy season here and it’s been a fun playful project. I am really amazed at how many kids these days know that song from Mary Poppins, ‘let’s go fly a kite! ‘ love it!

Oh, I love hearing about this - there is something so simple yet magical about kites. I made them with silk and cyanotype when I was in San Diego. And Mary Poppins is a favorite in our house. Thanks for the spark of joy.

The two stands of brave Iris have opened their blossoms in the still cool of spring. I visit all the plants daily as a means of communication with all that is not on a screen.

Two birds come to the bedroom bay window--one now each morning punctual and insistent, knocking against the glass with a sliver of nest-building material in its beak. How I welcome this.

This is beautiful - I too have been visiting plants daily - it is the season where they change so much one day to another - that sweet William is now part of a cluster of open flowers. We have had doves visiting our window sills, I love their cooing.

Of course, we find hope in the parallel experience of nature becoming near by, as do all your readers. Thank you for gathering us.

Thank you - it's the first to open in what will become a little cluster of flowers on that stem. I love watching them emerge.
