Florist’s Interpretation

All the world is staring at my Home on TV,

Their stories in the bunker make feeling breath a bit easier.

One scary for us and some others ashamed,

And they watch via TV, can it show things naked?..

 

But if we have our faith we'll have power enough

On the front in Melitopol and network combat.

Do you know if nuclear dust will fall out -

it will be the last snow on our planet…

 

Maternity hospitals are in their "freeing" fire,

But mama will save her innocent baby!

And a child will live free although it's now in a cage,

Ukraine is the name how will freedom be named!

 

They can bomb our Happiness,

They can shoot our Dream,

They will never kill again the freedom!

Everyone will be reaping what one seeded!

 

Text of Jerry Heil’s song “Dream”

 

Art will never be separated from truth.

My heart has only two colors.

 

Whitewood Flowers.

 

Anderson House Reflecting Pool

To mark the bicentennial of its 1783 founding, the Society of the Cincinnati installed a shallow reflecting pool between the original stone terraces in the walled garden in 1983. The dimensions replicate an orginal planting bed that was also surrounded by pea gravel. Today our pool is Instagram-famous as the setting for dozens of exquisitely creative weddings and other events.
