   Today is Cindy’s birthday; she would have been 55. Her pictures; poem translated from the German by me.

   Great sentiments, including in your frosty advance of fall…perfect.

     Thanks. Surprisingly, the weather people promised a killing frost, but it didn’t happen here. Mist all day Sunday—amazing and totally cool–and the mist froze on the leaves, but not in the leaves.
     The path along the creek was thick with frost this morning, but that’s a little lower down than the garden, and cold air drains right down the creek.

   Αιώνια η μνήμη της Eternal be her memory (the refrain of the Orthodox Memorial service)
   The photography is meltingly beautiful, as is your translation.
   You make Goldengrove unleaving positively festive, Bob.

     Thanks. I didn’t know these pictures existed, or at least most of them. The poetry as well.I knew she spent a lot of time scribbling in notebooks, but she never wanted me to look at them, so I didn’t.
     Figured I would do sort of a festival in honor of her birthday.

   She was brilliant at capturing the raindrops. Inspirational.

     The cotinus was a particular favorite. She thought it would get too big, where it was planted, but it dies back almost every winter.
