I had a wonderful time back home in Omaha for a long weekend that started on Thursday. It was magical for a number of reasons – not including the usual. Sometimes the unexpected is the biggest gift of all. A highlight was the occasion of my Great Aunt Ann’s 90th birthday which was marked by a fabulous party and fireworks show at Ponca Hills Farm. I captured this Instagram shot shortly before the great Netflix, Pinterest, Instagram crash of 2012.
Omaha Sprouts
I sent my niece, Aydan in Omaha this not so typical postcard from Uncommon Goods. It’s a postgarden. – “You just pop open your card, water the base, and sprinkle its packet over the diorama. In just a few days, you’ll have unruly sprouts of “Lepidium sativum” (that’s watercress) furling through the paper arches of your mini botanical garden.”
Below are some pictures of the postgarden from UncommonGoods.com and some that Aydan sent me to show me how her postgarden is is coming along. Her mother sent the last image when Aydan was away. It’s growing very fast.
Jackson Street Booksellers:
On a recent trip to Omaha, I visited one of my favorite book stores and found to my delight, a great little photo op: lots of funny little reading spots.
Father’s Day / Dream
Daydream
Welcome wake
Back from some new strength.
Wind blew
Gentle gusts
Weaving shoulder length.
This time
Dad was there,
Daylight on his face.
Red hot
Splotches formed
On his smiling face.
