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".

In Truth - ANITA HOLZBERG

In truth
we can not foresee the future
we can not squander our time
fine tuning
we can not forget our gardens
they are the life force
they are the beginnings
of things of the earth

I protected my roses today
as they stood solemnly near the fence
I fertilized
I dug deep into the soil
I brought fresh soil in
I said a prayer that they would
bear more than 1 rose

Last summer's one orange rose was the queen among
the unsung dormant rose bushes

the orange rose was a poem
in my garden of peace
with the fountain bubbling near by

Take time to rejuvenate
Commune with the flowers, bees, and trees
Be.
