Chardonnay Pearls

May 28, 2016 (149/366) "Life is full of surprises." - John Major

We love our new home, but were disappointed with the landscaping (or lack of it). On the bright side, it was a clean slate for us to do what we want, but that's a work in progress. However, there were a few nice surprises, like this Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko' aka Chardonnay Pearls (who knew) in front of the garage. I love them!

Exclamation point

“Hundreds of butterflies flitted in and out of sight  like short-lived punctuation marks in a stream of consciousness...” - Haruki Murakami. Just an exclamation mark from my 3rd annual field trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum. More butterfly photos in May 2015 and 2014.

Again?

"Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words." ~ Plautus. Facebook & Instagram are telling me it's National Wine Day...again! Wasn't it just National Drink Wine Day on February 18th? Well, who am I to argue? Cheers!
