bras

This morning it was the tulips and the bay

Clear inside a crisp May day

Today, I feel clean, like spring

Lifted from the gray wash of yesterday

This balance between the air and water and flower

Within one hour the train will move me away

And the city tide will flow in and steal my day

Shortly after I bought the house … Read More


Sunday was  Mother’s Day.  Regardless of how you define the relationship with your mother, it is an indelible bond, part of your DNA.  I loved my mother, fiercely, depended upon her support, and listened to most of her advice. When she tried to direct my behavior, I accepted her guidance, keeping most of my opinions to myself mainly as a gesture of respect. She was pretty good about letting … Read More

This week’s Intimate Discovery: Two capital boutiques cater to quality

What a treat it was, then, to stop by two very unique, very different and very well merchandised boutiques when I traveled to Maryland this week to visit my sister and do a little sightseeing in Washington D.C.  I was impressed at how well … Read More


I have never had a propensity for birds.  To me, they always provoked images of tiny flying dinosaurs.  I did not understand the great fascination with these flighty creatures until I made the acquaintance of Lily, the beautiful Moluccan cockatoo that resides at my local garden shop.   Lily lives in a large white cage, the delicate wire frame of which manages to enhance her noblesse rather than restrain it.    Lily … Read More


When I was in my 20’s, my aunt moved from her family home to an apartment and gave me her glass and wrought iron garden table in order to help me furnish my first makeshift apartment.  The clean, elliptical lines of its simple base visible through a transparent surface appealed to my taste for the organic.   I liked the juxtaposition of  lightness and weight.  Unfortunately, my youthful naivety caused me … Read More
