we went to see the chrysanthemum show at smith college last week.  they have such a beautiful conservatory!  

i have been working on some new designs, i love the way the drawings look on tracing paper

the world seems somehow brighter today.  i spent much of the morning pouring over the newspaper, elated, tired, and emotional.  it has been a long time since i felt like a part of this country.  now i am proud we have elected a true leader - thank you, barack obama!

the shadows on our glass kitchen table remind me of pictures of saturn's rings...
