The past weeks have been filled with family connections. My children are grown and most live far away…but we had three of them under my roof, TOGETHER, many times this week. My emotions ran from glee to melancholy even as I was determined to be strong, light, and present in each moment. Knowing the day… Continue reading Staying on Point~
Writing has been my passion since I was in the first grade, which is nothing quite unusual. Many writers say this, or something quite similar. I can’t speak for them, but the dance of thought to words is painfully exhilarating…..and addictive…for me. Not quite the same when it comes to gardens. I grew up in… Continue reading A writer’s cottage garden~
It is unfair to feel lonesome when the weather finally turns so flippin’ lovely. It does not help that my love of writing seems to have become absent in the desire bucket. It is dreadful when this happens, because then I get to add on that delightful bit of guilt to the already burdened soul. I… Continue reading Filling the bucket~
If we were having coffee today, I would settle us both out on the shop’s patio. The vintage table would squeak a bit, and the lollipop painted metal chairs would beckon our weary bones.

It is vital, I think to attempt to mark moments with art… A… Continue reading finding my groove~
If we were having coffee today, I would drag you with me to see this sculpture again. It is astonishing, to see steel welded into THIS. I am obsessed with this enormous rendition of a fearless sea warrior and can not stop looking at it. I find it to be inspiring in the artist’s skill… Continue reading If we were having coffee~
A day of happy! Finally, oh finally, we have had few days which seem like spring! The ground is nourished by the late snows, and my spring bulbs are opening to the brilliant (and warm) sunshine. My obnoxiously kitschy flamingos even appear happier now! I have classwork to finish~ finals the next two weeks~and Campnano… Continue reading Tipping tulips~
Having discovered this lovely blog-feed which centers around an intimate chat during our weekend (as if YOU were here with me today), I have decided to make this a standard feature of my blog. I think this little virtual get-together seems quite charming! As if we are meeting down the road, at our local coffee… Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share~workouts and writing
