mirage of the city

This picture was taken by my friend Herb Burns through the airplane window when he was landing in Moscow. I love it. Salvador Dali is taking a brake!

This mirage I have pictured in the desert from the Pilot Mountain. You can see downtown Winston-Salem where I live :)

i am in love with my new library!

Today was my first day in Walkertown Branch Library. I am in love with my new library! It's beautiful, and people are wonderful over there. Look at this community quilt (second picture shows close up). What a great project!

We have celebrated Valentines Day - Nadia made festive dinner with tofu in shape of hearts. Here are out plates :) I need to give Nadia a gift subscription for 'Vegeterian Times'!

very tasty lavender piano

Yesterday we had a concert in Reynolda library. Here are some pictures from the event. After the concert all Nadia's students came up to the stage and sung 'Happy Birthday to you!' song and surprised Nadia with a... lavender piano! The piano was very tasty. We were eating one note at a time :)
