Lucy and Robert Whelchel’s fence on July 4th

Live bluegrass music played by a beaming grandfather and granddaughter

Old friends, new friends, great food

An African doctor, educated in Communist Russian, returning home to use years of experience working in war torn Eastern Europe to open a women’s health clinic

Politics, religion, books, health care, retirement, tales about travel, history, family

Cool breezes after dinner stirred with a soft British accent

And so much laughter

This hibiscus should not be blooming on my patio. The tree should still be inside, waiting for warmer nights to arrive. In the 7-8 years since I bought a pair of hibiscus trees and decided to see if they would “winter over,” I have taken them outside in late April or early May. This year they moved outside at the end of March. And now they are blooming. I take no credit for being a great gardener. I am not. I am afraid the beginning of a very long, hot, dry summer is in bloom.

This chandelier hangs in the restaurant of the Glenn Hotel in Atlanta
It is proof to me that functional things can also be eclectic and beautiful
