The last four years or so, I've gone to the Macy's flower show that happens in the Spring time. It usually means spring has begun. Well, even though it was beautiful and temperate in the show it was snowing outside! It was a nice, little escape. Continue reading

Orchids are some of my favorite flowers. I took these photos at the Orchid Garden in Hawaii on the Big Island. It was so lovely and everyone was so happy. It's finally warm here today which, I imagine is lifting everyone's spirits. Have a great day! Continue reading

I went to see Public Enemy in Dec. I have always been a fan of Chuck D.- especially as a book lover, he's pretty important to the fight against censorship. The show was tons of fun. He and Flavor Flav had a lot of positive energy. Continue reading
