Spring
April 2, 2021
Daffodil Hill at Lakeview Cemetery is always impressive. This year the weather and rain have cooperated to create a truly lovely display.

Daffodil Hill is somewhat of a misnomer because the flowers are spread over acres and acres of hilly ground.

We also saw this beautiful red tail hawk.
As you can see the sky was overcast . . . and then it snowed.
Spring.

History of the Oval Office Decor
March 24, 2021
The President’s working space in the White House is probably one of the world’s most recognizable offices. But the Oval Office was not always where it is now in the White House – and it was not always oval. The office was moved to its current location in 1934. In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt built a rectangular room on the ground floor of the new West Wing, replacing offices on the second floor of the White House. William Howard Taft made it into an oval in honor of a symbolic feature of George Washington’s Philadelphia residence: a room with a bowed end where the first President would stand surrounded by a circle of guests, allowing him to democratically greet each visitor from the same distance.
Presidents leave their mark on the room by having it decorated according to their individual tastes – except for President Jimmy Carter who kept President Gerald Ford’s decor.
