Beautiful butterflies at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.

Beautiful day here in the Midwest. Wish I could be sailing!

Google's Birthday Doodle Game

Last week Google celebrated its 15th birthday and gave us all a present. It was a cute pinata game. Just click the mouse to take a swing. This link should go to the game: http://www.google.com/doodles/googles-15th-birthday OR www.google.com/doodles/googles-15th-birthday Hope this works. Not sure why it's not live... Anyway, it was lots of fun!

Happy Holidays

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season with family and friends. Here's to a great 2011!

June

The weather is very hot for June. There was a big but brief storm here last week and many trees were damaged.

poems

Poetry is beautiful use of the language. It is difficult to write poetry because it is so specialized. Each word is chosen so carefully to convey a certain nuance. I wish I could write poems.
