A bit blurry (my Communication Stylist [you know who you are!] will not be pleased that I did not focus my iPhone.lol) but you get the idea.  This beautiful floral creation is called "The Starry Night" by the Mt. San Antonio College (Ca.) Horticulture Club.  Displayed at the Spring Garden Show in South Coast Plaza going on through tomorrow, 4/28.

That exudes awesome energy!

I'll have a cup of tea in this elegant tearoom!

These colors are so beautiful.  How could we create a piece of art with these buttons?

Family Easter Traditions

My great-grandparents came from Poland with their twelve children.  They passed down many beloved traditions that became part of my childhood.  I now share those traditions with my GrandGirls so they will have the experiences throughout their lives.

A special tradition that I really love is the Easter basket blessing that takes place on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.  Folks bring their baskets filled with their Easter foods.  Click here for more information about this tradition.

This past Holy Saturday, I brought my GrandGirls to the Polish church for the blessing.  The Girls had planted real grass in their baskets.  Here's what they looked like: 

And, we brought favorite breads that were devoured on Easter Sunday.

Do you have any treasured traditions that you celebrate on certain holidays?  I look forward to learning about new traditions.

This story enchants me.

One of my favorite photos currently at the #Getty by #hiroshihamaya- ‘Children Singing in a Snow Cave’- Niigata Prefecture, 1956. Hamaya is quoted about the photo, he says, “The village Toka-machi is famous for snow. On the night of the Lunar New Year, snow caves are made all over town. Children light candles, bring braziers, and have dinner inside. Adults are invited to be their guests. They sing bird-chasing songs to the beat of clappers. It’s the children’s kingdom all through the towns and villages.” …Is there anything more lovely than that?
