A perfect empty nest friendship gift

I've discovered, as a little birdie in an empty nest, alongside a handsome Mr. who humors me, we can do this empty nesting thing.  Well, not really, we're both still learning.  But, we know we/I'd have to one way or another.  It is inevitable.  All parents go through it.  At least I'm not alone, even… Continue reading A perfect empty nest friendship gift

Soft whispers of an iris as it opens up in my garden

Their delicate style crest and falls... Their… Continue reading Soft whispers of an iris as it opens up in my garden
