Dear Miss Blue,

Tulips growing in a roomy pot here on my porch, Miss Blue, the bulbs planted in the winter so that they can bloom just in time for Easter Day and every year the blooms surprise me with their long stems and vibrant color; sometimes  red and then yellow.  Their stems are very strong so that the tulips can stand up straight and show off their beauty.  I must tell you, Miss Blue, that I have a beautiful heather plant; It is called Erica Heather native to South Africa.  Long ago, the musical Brigadoon was playing on Broadway in New York and I hurried to buy a ticket so I could hear that mesmerizing song, "The Heather on the Hill." Music keeps memories alive and even now I find myself singing and humming "The Heather on the Hill."  

Always the young students of the best Art Schools bring their education and ideas of making everything more beautiful and smart; industrial design I would say, exciting and contemporary.  Good for Eleanor and Esther.

All my love to you and Melba and Fanny, Pearl
