Beautiful Spider in the Garden
I’m taking a new photo class this month on macro photography. I was out in the garden this morning and this afternoon. I took a lot of flower pictures, but what I loved most was this big fat spider. I only got one shot of him before he streaked back to his hiding place.…

Carol Scafuro
The last time I saw Carol Scafuro was eleven years ago – before Yumiko came home. She flew in this weekend from Vermont and we picked up right where we left off. So wonderful to see and be with this great, great lady. She cooked us the best spinach lasagna and broccoli rabe known…

Valley Forge
Ken and I have lived in our house for 16 years and all this time I never took advantage of being so close to Valley Forge National Park. It’s a beautiful, lush place with open fields and forests filled with deer and butterflies and old log cabins. I’ve had a lot of fun in…

A Day at the Races
My old friends from ASTM invited me to go to the horse races today. I had never been before, but had a wonderful time. The races began a little after noon. The day was beautiful and I had the best time just taking lots of pictures. Here are a few:
