I can't begin to tell all of your how much I appreciated the outpouring of support for Adam and I! What wonderful, supportive friends you are! He's doing great! Went back to work and this weekend he's checking out a piece of property he hopes to purchase in Eastern Washington. It was a tough few days, but they (doctors) seem to have gotten the problem under control. My love and gratitude to each of you. Have a great weekend!

Madame Earth,
coming out
of a wet
and cold winter.
Bare bone branches
and white outfits
sometimes
dripping
with joy
on sighting
a weak winter Sun.
Then,
Seasonal departures
of the
Cold and Bare;
and
she enjoys the
arrival of
a time of birth,
Spring.
Bursting high
into blossom,
greening
the Bare,
High Kicks
from Madam Earth
in her pink and green
Head costume,
celebrating
Folies Bergere
beneath an audience
of wispy clouds
applauding
in a Blue Sky....

This evening's wisdom is giving me a lot to think about. I appreciate the ones about writing. And I wonder what Ansel Adams would think about how easy it is for anybody and everybody (even me) to take lots of pictures nowdays.

Aren't you just loving the pink plum trees? Another wonder poem.
I especially like the Hawthorne quote & the picture above it!
Magnificent photos, Sylvia! They seem to show your happiness and relief that your son is recovering and doing well. Thank goodness!
wow very nice photos!
your shots are always wonderful.
lets make it more excellent!!!
The photos are beautiful as always and the quotes too, but I must have missed something I didn't know that Adam (is that your husband) was sick. You must be relieved that he is better now !
I'm glad Adam is doing well! Gorgeous images and thoughts! I really like the last one.
Beautiful! The pink blooms give me Spring hope :)
Very good to learn that Adam is doing well now and that the doctors are on top of the problem.
You have blossom on your trees! Wow!
I'm glad to hear that Adam is doing well. Thanks for so many beautiful pictures (it's impossible for me to single out a favorite) and the words of wisdom.
Beautiful skies and inspiring quotes ... I especially like the cloud shot above the Ansel Adams quote. Glad your son is doing better ... sorry I wasn't around to offer support. It's been a busy and technologically challenging week but I'm doing my best to catch up today.
Hugs and blessings,
Sacred Ruminations
I'm glad to hear that he's doing well. Gorgeous photos as always - I especially like the flowering tree! Just beautiful!
A lovely series of photos, as always. and I love the posts on either side of it as well.
Glad to hear Adam is better.
Now excuse me while I go send the "old broads" story to all my girlfriends.
