Yellow Rose's Garden

One of the world's most beautiful voices is silenced to the ears of those on earth. Luciano Pavarotti passed away.

When I think of opera, I think of a lovely lady that grew up in in NYC. She, like Mr. Pavarotti, is no longer among the living. I have fond memories of her stories of the Met and other places in her hometown. She preferred to be called Gene, short for Genevieve.  That was her middle name, she apparently wasn't fond of her given name, Lillian.

Another passing:

Madeleine L’Engle, who in writing more than 60 books, including childhood fables, religious meditations and science fiction, weaved emotional tapestries transcending genre and generation, died Thursday in Connecticut. She was 88.

She was best known as the author of the series that began with the book, "A Wrinkle in Time." 

Current audio book is "It Takes a Village, Tenth Anniversary Edition" by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I finished the white yarned areas on my project, added the gold thread and added the corner pearls. Still need to add the bells, flowers, put a backing on it, and add the sleeve.

Recipes behind the cut.
