~:: Inversion pt. 2 ::~

This is my brother.  He’s a great guy.  But once in a while, he’s an idiot.  He doesn’t ever read this, so he won’t know he should be offended. About this, anyway. Okay, so it’s the first day that’s really … Continue reading

~:: Nor’ Wester ::~

In the mess of feeling I’ve had over the last many weeks, there was this shining bit of smug satisfaction: I was, in some small things, ready. For one thing, I’d made a boat-load of deer ornaments, plus the junk … Continue reading

~:: Time, Space and Red Leaves ::~

Last post it was May. Now—it’s now. Again, I’m playing ping pong with time. You know how they say that a really good photographer can get beautiful results out of the simplest camera? Because he – she – knows how … Continue reading

~:: Turn, turn, turn ::~

I found out today that my early-autumn-angst was slightly overblown. The mountains are changing – but we rode through them today and found that the mountains’ sides were still chock full of green.  And somehow, that made it easier for … Continue reading

~::May 2012 – Revisiting Summer::~

~:: All the Stuffed Little Horses ::~

I was writing, yesterday, about how I can’t seem to sit down and write anything. I think about things and I want to put words to them, but I dance around the ideas, unable to hold still long enough to … Continue reading

~::gifts, prizes, surprises and delights ::~

Got a cold.  Can’t bweathe. (insert cough here)  This puts me even more behind in everything, including reading you, Dawn. And you, Cori. On the couch watching a smarmy movie—not for long, though; it’s really stupid and the synth score … Continue reading

It’s the middle of January.  In this hemisphere, that means we are in the thick of winter, buried in snow, crusted with hoar frost. But not this year.  Yesterday, I bundled up and went out to the barn to watch … Continue reading
