This is one of Jane's favorite 'botanicals" that we framed together. I got the idea while I was visiting Jane at the Jersey City R.C. on July 1rst 2010 (which also was the same day that we lost our mother Lois in 2003). As I stated before, I collected them from an overgrown lot by the hospital, that I found as I walked from the train to visit Jane that hot and sunny day. At first I picked them to commemorate our Mothers day of passing, but then it turned into something more important to us both. I pressed them all into my "writers book", as suggested by Jane, so they would dry out there safely. We framed this in October 2010, when Jane was home in between hospital stays. We both loved it, because it looks almost like a small Cosmos or Universe from a distance. I'm sorry for the "fuzzy" quality, but I scanned the actual framed Queen-Anne's-Lace flower head, it is not a photograph of it. We framed dozens of plant samples together, like Angels-Trumpet, Licorice Mint, various tree leaves, and so on. I have fond memories of these hours spent together, it helped relieve the incredible pain and torment that my beautiful sister Jane was going through. I have them all in my home, they mean the world to me., just like the memories of creating them together with Jane. Thank you for reading my thoughts today. Remember Jane. Love and Light to you.
