STOP… and realize how brief and fragile life is. (by Nori)
                         
A plane came down yesterday afternoon in Lock Haven, short of the airport and just a few blocks from where I now work. From what I’ve read, it sheared a power pole, hit three vehicles, struck and destroyed the porch of the brick house on the right, then burst into flames. All three people aboard were killed.

Remembering the Fallen… (by Nori)

I noticed a fallen mock-orange petal while waiting for the parade to start on Memorial Day.

Sun Rises On the Farm (via Nori (FineCrafted))
I had to stop again on the way to work this morning.  Sometimes it pays to leave early.  :)

“Dear Noreen:
This is a big THANK YOU.  I just moved into my new home
…and the kitchen is a BIG HIT.
I admit to some nervousness during the kitchen planning process 
because all the decisions were made long distance… 
(but) my concerns proved unfounded. 
I am absolutely delighted with my cabinets and your work. 
I’d recommend you anytime.”

Bougainvillea (via Nori the Design Diva)
There’s one of these in the window of the paint store.  I never had a green thumb until I started watering the plants there… but it probably has a lot to do with the huge windows too. 
After the long winter, it’s nice to see some colors of Spring.
