Summer Loving Blues and Greens 7/1/24
Americana Pie 6/24/24
We know that we live in a much divided country. But maybe it's our right to be divided that should unite us. Today's note is about standing together to wave our grand old flag.

Our Lives, Our Fortunes,
Our Sacred Honor."

I am feeling a little bit like Sybil of the multiple personalities this week. I'm writing about Venice this morning, while sipping coffee in the garden of the charming Christopher Inn on Martha's Vineyard.

I'm back, but I'm off again to a beautiful wedding in Northern California. (More on this glorious affair next week). Sometimes life just hands you too much good stuff at once. I confess, I'm feeling a tad bit overwhelmed - behind in sooooo many work projects, while my house is a mess and my garden beckons with its own litany of overdue tasks. The weeds are flourishing, while they natter away in my ear, singing a refrain from a bad Supertramp song, "the more we stay, the harder it'll be to make us say goodbye"*?
And yet,
