It was a picture perfect day. My sister, niece, daughter and I went to one of my favorite places in the area. I haven’t been there for MANY years because the last time I went there my now ex husband hated it (I should have know right then and there …. and I should have [...]

Bee Tree

The air is filled with a “heady” scent. The perfume that reminds me of honey fills the air. I breathe it in. I notice the tiny yellow flowers that fill the branches of the tree. Then I notice a buzzing sound. I look up into from the base of the tree to the top, it [...]
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 [...]
Sycamore Tree

I had to post this image of the stark white of my beloved sycamore against the gorgeous sky. Good thing I took it when I did because it was gone just a short time later as a cold front blew in. We had left for a walk and the wind was absolutely bracing. It was fabulous. [...]
First Robin of Spring

My college pal, Andrea, and I were standing on the back porch Saturday morning with our coffee, watching the birds. I thought I saw a bluejay land on a tree, it was the right size and weight but was hidden behind the evergreens of an arbor vitae. But when it came from behind the fronds [...]
Apples on a Tree

This day is a new day, a cold day, a hard day.
There is not warmth, there is only grey skies, overcast.
I look for meaning and find none.
I wait.

My cousin Will, I should say my favorite cousin in the whole world…(if Karen is reading this he was jealous of you when we spent the summer in Colorado telling him to go away), stopped by a couple days ago. I feel so blessed because between friends and family I now have plumbing, wild caught [...]
Four Seasons

I realized a couple days ago that it has been a third of a year since my husband left. A full fall season. I am doing better than I was initially but can feel there is a long way to go. One of the things I reallized I needed to do was to winterize my [...]
I thought it was only me

I watch her as she walks, a subtle glamour on her face. This is not the glamour of designer clothes nor painted finger nails, this is the glamour of olde faerie ways and forest glades.
She shivers by a fire that blazes so hot it scorches her skin, but she shivers in the bone deep chill it [...]
Green Lakes State Park

Oh what a beautiful day! On my way home from a doctor’s appointment I had this strong almost overwhelming desire to walk along a water course. I packed up the dog at the house and headed to Green Lakes State Park. I don’t think I have actually been there in years, which is a tragedy because [...]
