I really love this: “As grow older, I find that this is true of life generally. It becomes clearer to me with each birthday that we are all spring ephemerals. We are here for just a short time.”

Thanks for letting us wander behind your childhood home…

It really gave me pause to realize those photos are roughly 50 years old!

Our little yard in the woods sported lots of little blue-eyed grasses, in bloom at this time of the year for just a little while. I loved to see them, along with the pink lichen that grew on a rocky ledge. It stayed pink for just a while in the spring.

Maybe you saw the same little flower I saw then ... only multiple copies of it! It was so pretty.
