Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of these things and still be calm in your heart.

Who knew there was a 'forest' in the district?!


My birthday bonsai and me! This work of art is also 28 years old; the oldest bonsai in the museum was started in 1626!!!



Examples of lots of patience and training ...



Sunday I had the opportunity to visit the US National Arboretum in NE ... a phenomenal treasure right in our backyards! Lis, Ricardo, and I explored the bonsai collection, the herb garden, the koi pool, and a reflecting pool near former US Capitol columns ... a peaceful afternoon.
