I had a rough day, I mean a rough few days. Inspiration is needed in my life, mind caught on positive disintegration. Wandering through the park, cardinal singing, a crimson blot on the blue sky. He flys closer, and closer still, his song a beautiful call, my throat aches with it’s beauty.
We went to Strong Hearts [...]

I have told the story many times. I was pregnant, single, and scared to death. I wanted a baby girl but like a good parent told people, I just want a healthy baby. It was true but really a girl. I was dreaming and in the dream a deer jumped in front of my path. [...]

Robin
It was uncharacteristically warm today. The sun just blazing and the air warm with little wind. The ground is not yet greening up and even the willows are lacking the true golden green color of spring. I was walking again at Berry Park and the Red Winged Blackbirds were everywhere, singing out. I also saw a [...]

After yoga I decided it was too nice of a day to spend it indoors rather than continuing my mission to rid the house of clutter and dust (of which I put in a good dent yesterday and early this morning). I haven’t been to the park in a while due to a combination of IBS [...]

This photo is from a couple weeks ago. I have been walking quite a bit in the park, but it has been pretty cold and not too much new seems to be happening. In my garden the azaleas are starting to bud, and the salvia is just beginning to bloom and I have two lonely [...]

It has been really cool but sunny here. I like it actually, it is not so hot that the flowers have wilted only just having just started to bloom. The strawberries in my garden are really happy and hopefully I will have a bunch this year; the problem typically is that I planted some a [...]

My daily spring sit on the steps. Coffee in hand, dog at my feet. I heard a laughing bird call and noticed this woodpecker in the tree. (I believe he was a Downy Woodpecker http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Downy_Woodpecker.html#fig1
I caught him but then I noticed two females vying for his attention. I had thought bird males fought for female attention, [...]
A walk in the park

It was an absolutely beautiful day. I went to yoga in the early afternoon, and when I came home I immediately started to rake the back lawn. I only got about half done (about 2 hours of raking) when my arms gave out and today I am quite sore. The dog was super whiney despite [...]

My husband caught this guy hopping about the back yard right before I got home from work.
