She is an excellent writer but I think her real talent lies in her ability to dissect the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters and do it bi-culturally. <BR/><BR/>Reminder to self...re-read that book soon.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-37231442561959892142008-04-21T21:51:00.000-05:002008-04-21T21:51:00.000-05:00Yes, please do! :) Those would be right up my alle...Yes, please do! :) Those would be right up my alley.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-21043412192318414842008-04-20T22:52:00.000-05:002008-04-20T22:52:00.000-05:00Willow, I think of books and movies that I forgot ...Willow, I think of books and movies that I forgot all the time. I've added to my list a couple of times. I like a variety of music too but I can never remember it. My music list is pitiful.<BR/><BR/>I actually love to read books about China and Japan. I thought I might gather my thoughts together about it one day and maybe post my favorites.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-19192579895520860242008-04-20T22:49:00.000-05:002008-04-20T22:49:00.000-05:00Russell Crowe, now he would be the gardener of my ...Russell Crowe, now he would be the gardener of my dreams.

Maybe "one man's weed is another man's flower", or something like that, after all.<BR/><BR/>I found two or three dandelions in full bloom in my backyard today. When I was a child, I thought dandelions were pretty, and used to string them together in a chain.<BR/><BR/>We didn't have buttercups; my friends and I used to press dandelions to our chins, to see if they left a yellow mark, denoting that we really liked butter.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-45060539346817947962008-04-20T21:43:00.000-05:002008-04-20T21:43:00.000-05:00Beautiful pictures!

My garden is struggling to come awake as it is just beginning to get warmer here.<BR/>I have no dirt in my backyard so I have to plant in containers, which makes it a little easier to control. I love impatiens flowers as they do well in shade and blossom all summer.<BR/><BR/>To answer you question about Bryant Park: The little tables and chairs are already in the park for the use of anyone who enters and there are some food concession stands near the entrance so it's a nice place to have lunch in good weather.<BR/>Yes -- it's the park where they set up for part of the fashion week hoopla! GMA has some summer concerts there too! :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog --I hope you'll come back often!I've enjoyed reading yours and seeing your drawings. :-)<BR/><BR/>PatPat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-45488037649855732082008-04-20T20:55:00.000-05:002008-04-20T20:55:00.000-05:00I have never seen weeds look quite so lovely!
