Bravo to her! With learning, age means nothing. My husband was in an Arabic language class and one student was in his 80s.

So beautiful. Our hellebores have bloomed but I'm still experiencing Garden Envy with your lovely photos.

I've always believed that the brilliant colors used in illuminated manuscripts were actual depictions of the colors that were commonplace. How lovely to have it confirmed.

I'm about to reread The 13 Clocks, James Thurber.

One of the best opening lines I've read in awhile, followed by a moving story. I hope you share more of your writing sometime. I'll enjoy your marvelous posts in the meantime.

The Twin Towers by Elizabeth Goudge and The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber.

Stars, especially constellations and their mythology.

I really hope Canada and Mexico just say ok see ya later to all of this. I'm deeply concerned as a US citizen that we'll be repeating some European history.

I'm out in public and crying as I read this.
