extra help for the holidays at the post office

i had to ship several over-sees orders from herban elements and high contrast today: the line was out the door at the post office. mothers let children run wild: round and round, repeatedly punching the life-size cut out of a postal worker, while the dutiful clerks at the united states postal service worked over time...not.

cherry cherie!

after packing up some orders and heading to the post office, i am meeting cherie for a long walk through rock creek park down to the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms first hand. cherie did this amazing archival print of

one of her photos of the beautiful blossoms.
