I took out my wool dress coat two days ago, but this morning I was blissfully watching the news when they mentioned snow, I looked out and yelled oh my god it snowed. I called to my daughter who said some rather blue words when I told her to look outside.
After work though it was [...]

This is my heart

Somewhere along the line I had become an exhibitionist. Not in the sense of taking off my clothes but in the sense of trying to show off myself. It was not a helpful thing to do and was a practice of displaying the ego. Like a peacock, pompous arrogant but somehow false. I am not [...]
Forsythia forsythia forsythia

I want to say this is the first time forsythia has really bloomed in my yard, but I can say it has bloomed but in the past the hacked stems, the broken limbs had but a few small blossoms. It was easy to miss the blooming. But look how it dances, look at what delight, [...]
Oh what a day is today

I woke early to the sound of the furnace, something wasn’t right. I waited I listened, again no that is not how it is supposed to sound. I didn’t sleep well after that. It was a relatively minor issue but needed to be fixed. I ran a million errands. I took a long slow stroll [...]
A slow walk

I take it easy, passing slowly step over step, letting the dog sniff every tree, pausing to turn my face to the sun and close my eyes. The adult I now live with, and I negotiate the work that needs done and we each do our part. Such a change from the past, a pleasantly [...]
What the hell is my problem?

Ah a beautiful gorgeous breezy afternoon, the pouring rain at the close of school, wet blown away by the swift wind. Looking out the window as I kneel on the sofa which still smells like barf despite scrubbing, febrezing and airing, maybe he barfed down the back? Oh God I probably should just burn the [...]
Bad Dog
Posted in Shrubbery, nature on March 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My dog is seriously awful these days, he is into the trash basically all the time, and I don’t know what has gotten into him but he is really hyper. The last couple days too he has barfed somewhere everywhere because there is the all pervasive, ubiquitous odor of dog barf everywhere in the house. [...]
Forsythia Bud

A still small voice. I read a book of inspirational daily meditations. I have felt like the meditations were trite the last few days. Today it said to take time to listen to the still small voice. I think meditation and yoga helps with that, but I am not sure. I am a neophyte these [...]
Rhodedendron

Our rhodedendron in these parts is pretty pathetic. A couple years back there was a Dali show at the Philedelphia Museum of Art and saw mile after mile of gigantic rhodedendron along Rt. 81. It took me a minute to recognize it because our plants here in the north are miniscule in comparison. We inheirited [...]
Red Winged Blackbird

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 [...]
