Another birthday gift I offer to readers here: the first rose of the season bloomed in our garden today. This is a fragrant old rose we've had since the 1980s, when a sweet elderly neighbor in New Orleans, a Black gentleman named Mouton Bickham, shared a cutting with us. For years, not knowing that the rose is called Louis Philippe, we called it the Mouton Bickham rose. I love seeing it in this hand-painted vase that my favorite aunt cherished.

Give the Gift of Hebrew This Passover! ✡️📖

As we prepare for Passover—a time of freedom, tradition, and family—why not give a gift that lasts a lifetime? My Hebrew book series is the perfect way to share the beauty of the Hebrew language with your loved ones.

Whether it’s learning to read the Aleph-Bet, mastering pronunciation, or diving deeper into Hebrew conversation, my books make it easy and fun!

This year, celebrate Passover with more than just matzah—give the gift of Hebrew! 🕊️✨

I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

Three years ago, we found a tiny apricot tree sprouted from a kernel in the compost heap.
Planted it and cared for it. it now has its first fruit, about five little apricots!

This year's count of new oak trees from acorns hidden by squirrels is 12. Will be potted and given away next year when they can survive on their own.

Grape vine cutting has roots & leaves. By one, get many free, 😃.

First lavender is in full bloom. Lots of bees enjoying it. Pic later.
