Pineapple Royalty


We had a party a couple weeks ago for spring break (many weeks ago)...and I just loved these pictures. I sculpted a pineapple crown as a candle votive and then after the party we all wore it. Here I am, in Happy Mode, as Markus would put it.
My friend Ricardo was also rockin with the pineapple.

Slimy Crud Run


On May 4th, we went to the Slimy Crud Run. This annual ride is basically a big gathering of bikes of all kinds...I was sort of fascinated with my reflection in all the shiny bike parts (there were many shiny parts). I was wearing a brown deerskin jacket with lots of fringe. I didn't exactly fit in with all the Harley riders, basically I looked like a big hippy. The jacket was my friend Cosmo's. He would have loved it.

It was a great ride through the beautiful parts of Wisconsin, hills and valleys. I saw a few hawks, lamas, dirty cows, lots of motorcycles and 3 cranes.

Jack Flower

Jack-in-the-spring. It's a very rare flower that only grows in my garden. It looks remarkably like a cat.

Flowering Trees




The Arboretum is amazing this time of year. Everyone just walks around all blissed out...the air smells sweet...I was sneezing...

Gold Finch

My First Gold Finch!! Check out this bird at my feeder. It's brilliant yellow. I'm sort of a geek about birds. I know all their names and actually get excited about seeing new ones. I'm actually 75 pretending to be 28. (not to stereotype)

Public Enemy


Kelly Z!




This is the filming of a Hollywood movie in Madison! We actually got out of class to walk around the capitol for an hour. I didn't see Johnny Depp, but it was fun to see the cars on the square. I was just happy to be in the sunshine on a nice day. Markus ran into my hairdresser who was doing hair for the extras on the set. Very cool Kelly Z!

A Good Day

Today was a good day.
All of the reasons...
gardening with a good friend
getting dirty in the dirt
Culvers lemon ice
giving a massage
singing karaoke with my favorite 7 year old (not in public)
picking tulips
finishing my homework
going to bed early!
