Some Wind, Some Rain, Some Tears…

There is a lot going on right now. Today, in my little corner of the world, the movers came. The next time I see the kids’ photos, my quilted rocking chair, and Seamus Heaney will be in Tel Aviv.

Standing Horse

I spent part of yesterday wandering slowly through the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
