~:: How I felt about seasons ::~

The fulsome, riotous green of spring. And the horse-at-rest peace of Autumn. His flowers include some true felted wool.  Even plaid. All slightly over-dyed. (not by me) Now, I’m going to bed.

Woo-hoo, hoypoloy and sis-boombaa – how I love words.  Love them, love them, love them.  I love the delicate scents and shapes and colors of them.  The feel of them in my hand.  I’d throw myself into a pit of … Continue reading

~:: Sprung Spring ::~

I took a little pre-spring boating trip this morning—in the Suburban, down to the horses, the wet, hang-dog horses.  I had fed Piper and let him out first.  I only got stuck in the snow once, but didn’t have to … Continue reading

~:: Unresolved ::~

I don’t make New Years’ resolutions.  Not to sound all broomstick-up-the-back about it, but my Faith pretty much demands that I constantly keep a weather-eye out on myself.  I mean, you know – not in an unhealthily obsessed way.  Just … Continue reading
