Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

Spring is Here - Anita Holzberg 

Soft shades of morning
  sneakers too
       a yard waiting for a visitor
           a bird, a bee, a familiar face

        the fountain dormant from spring's rain
             needs to be plugged in
                like the zillion's of birds
                      that hover over

 Spring comes
    the heart leaps up
         I wash my hose off
               dirt oozes
        the flower beds are singing
              petunias blooming

            their purple heads
                 thoughtfully open
                    for  the noon-day sun
                  the wildflowers have
                       just begun.
