For Kathy

~o:> Autumn Continued

Posted on September 22, 2010 by K

Picking up where we left off: Here we were, at the top of the ridge, looking down on this incredible grass valley. And we’re slowly lurching down this steep path. Now, pretend you’re me.  You’re not me.  But you could … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2010 by K

Posted on August 31, 2010 by K

Odd thing #1:  the bug. Dentist Kris found this thing in his yard.  He was mowing (mowing what?) or trimming or something, and – I don’t even know how he found it.  I think it’s an alien.  This is, after-all, … Continue reading →
