Birthday Girl !!!

What can this mean?

Must be that somebody is a birthday girl!

Who wouldn't be excited about...

...big antique tomato salt and pepper shakers?

And how about a set of old, first-generation USA made colorful Pryex mixing bowls?

Is the theme obvious:

Who would have predicted that Carlsbad is a goldmine for antique shops?? Happy Birthday to Jennifer !!!!

Common Milkweed

Why The Common Milkweed? Well many reasons: 1 - It's important! Milkweed is the only larval food for the Monarch Butterfly and food for many other invertebrates. 2 - It's common, yet possesses singular beauty and therefore represents all the beauty in and around us (right under our noses and on "this side of the fence") and the potential for that common beauty to be recognized, expressed and celebrated. 3 - Its persistence in less than ideal growing conditions proves that the beauty contained in the common endures.
