• Change Starts With Me

  

  I am always striving to become a better a person. I know I’m not perfect and there is always room for improvement. I have been concerned about climate change and am looking for ways to do my part to help. I am not a scientist, so I can’t really offer technical help, but there are changes […]

• Enjoying Nature Indoors at Phipps

• Flowers and Mocha The Beauty of Impermanence

   I love this time of year. Everything is in bloom, the days are longer and warmer.  I love to sit out on my deck. It overlooks woods and is in the back of my house. In the morning, upon awakening, I go downstairs, put on a pot of coffee, heat up a combo of almond […]
