4 Sides to a Crosswalk

Hope Happens

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and HANG ON.

St. Paddy’s Day Parade

Balloon Garden

An army of balloons! What a pretty and colorful sight at the Washington Monument in Mount Vernon! Today almost feels like spring.

A Sunset

like this evening’s is enough to bring an exciting and colorful end to an otherwise long, and plain day. Truly one of nature’s amazing gifts to us earthlings.

Beauty all Around

I had just finished watering one of my indoor plants when I noticed a perfectly round droplet perched on a fallen leaf. I thought it looked beautiful and carried profound meaning, that in as much as water is (re)vitalizing, it was too late for this particular leaf. Yet, even in its lifeless, shriveled and discolored form the leaf still portrayed beauty – at least in my eyes.

Cold Without You

Buried under multiple layers of covers
Adorned in my thickest snuggly socks
Yet the cold I feel remains untamed
It emanates from my feet, and creeps
To every inch of my body, and seemingly
Manages to penetrate my core.
I can almost feel my heart ice over.
Cold without you
Cold without your feet rubbing mine
Cold without the heart-melting love I feel when your gentle hands glide sensually over the contours of my bare frame
Cold without the passion that abounds when we embrace
Cold without you tonight
