Spring Rain
Have you noticed spring rain is so invigorating and refreshing, not only for the lawn and vegetables in the garden, but also as a natural beauty treatment. I remember collecting rainwater to rinse my hair as a teenager and still enjoy being caught outside during a heavy deluge when working the grounds at Heath; it makes my hair feel so lush and soft. These luxurious drops of water vapor are the ultimate earthy product.
First Iris’s and Peonies
The first cutting flowers to bloom after the cherry blossoms are the irises and peonies around Heath. After an extremely cold spring, their flowering was later than usual by a few weeks and very rapid process.

I stopped by Toro Toro for lunch after frequenting a few art galleries while on a recent visit to Washington, D.C. The restaurant features a churrasco and grill type cuisine in a trendy lounge-like environment with Japanese and Latin American design elements. It was completely relaxing after a day of viewing an abundance of art. We were able to sample ingredients and flavors from South and Central America, and could taste an array of hot and cold plates with various steaks, seafood and poultry all meant for sharing. It was wonderful to be encompassed by such convivial surroundings, which made talking to the people at the next table extremely interesting.
Patches the Dachshund
This is my brother’s dog, a frequent member at many family gatherings. Most of my siblings have a myriad of dogs, but I am the only one with a cat. My brother-in-law {Omar} helped me with a brush-up session in Photoshop and this image is what was created, a very “Andy Warhol-ish” type representation of modern of art and photography. I love this picture of Patches!!!
Create stylishly,
