Sleep

Sweet dreams, form a shade
O’er my lovely infant’s head;
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy, silent, moony beams.

Sweet sleep, with soft down
Weave thy brows an infant crown.
Sweet sleep, Angel mild,
Hover o’er my happy child.


Excerpted poetry from William Blake.

San Francisco in October

While combing through hundreds of photos I've never gotten around to processing, let alone posting, I decided to upload 2 from our trip to SF in October, 2007.

Here's a mural found in Chinatown.


Cafe Zoetrope.

iBella day

Uh-oh, Bella made a mess!

Bella's new friend and best toy for the day was a 5 gal. water bottle.

Woody Woodpecker

For a relatively dry spring it's extremely buggy, I mean thick clouds of black flies and all... but on the bright side the birds are just as numerous and there are literally a dozen or so of these guys all around the house. Last year I only caught a glimpse of a Pileated woodpecker here and there and this year we're more than making up for it.

Flashes of Brilliant Red

The Cardinals seem even more radiant this spring.

This is either a Hairy woodpecker or a Red-Cockaded woodpecker??

Pileated

Giant woodpeckers are prowling all around my house.

Breakfast Bella

Breakfast with Bella and Sarah at the Country Corner, while Daniel works. Bella is checking out a table of women next to us.
So fascinating.

Chloe So Pretty

Chloe loved Margery's roses while they were around and sat by them when ever we were in the kitchen. She always did the same thing, wait for us to begin dinner at the kitchen table, jump up, smell the roses, sometimes several, then sit prettily next to them.
