Those lovely yellow daffodils are a spring time pleasure. I see them all over and took a pencil to paper and did a quick sketch of them. They serve as great centerpieces for a table setting as well.

When driving home on Old County Road we turn into a new senior care facility. The driveway into the development was blasted out and this is what sits there now. The sky and clouds spoke to us as the bare branch trees just stood there. Natural beauty pleases the eye!
What a cool tote bag when shopping for a few things. People search the Trader Joe's places to find these bags. They are big enough to fit "your lunch, a water bottle and a few sundries" and are sold in several colors. The problem is they can only be found in selected stores and are purchased several at a time. It's just perfect to fill it with a gift for a friend. They are not found in Maine. I wonder if you can buy them online. Something like this, for the inexpensive cost, should be available at all Trader Joe's. What a great idea!
It happened to be Dean's turn to leave this life and he is going to be missed by many. We attended his Celebration of Life yesterday with such sadness. The first time we met him he came to Rose Cottage Bakery to see Megan sharing a cup of coffee with sweet treats and that was several years back . While singing opera in Germany and here in the states, humorously he called his voice his birth defect. He got burned out singing opera in Germany, came home and built boats. Both large and small models. The Owl and the Turtle bookstore employed him as a manager at one time. Occasionally he would sing to pass the time being heard in downtown Camden. His biggest joy was being with dogs and was also a dog walker. I remember a time he came to dinner and Spencer became his best buddy. I opened the Sunday New York Times and discovered this piece in the Metropolitan Diary section that fits Dean to a "T"! He would totally have loved it. His love of afternoon tea was shared by all and dog treats were waiting for attendees to help themselves. Dean left this world suddenly taking that happiness and joy with him - and an operatic voice with a dog tagging along.
