What is Elegance?



"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, to all bravely await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is my symphony."


William Henry Channing (1810 - 1884)

Birthday at the Roemhildt's




For my 36th Birthday I spent the day with Gweneviere at the Zoo. Isn't she cute eating birthday cake?


I love cats and waterfalls too.
The baby leopard's were taking a nap.






So was baby Grace ...
