I know I have stated this before, but perhaps now is a good time to state it with my utmost clarity: I know there are people who may not appreciate the way I have portrayed them in my blog entries. I have always tried to portray people as accurately and fairly as possible, tried to … Continue reading They make themselves caricatures of their true selves, becoming more silly and ridiculous…
Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
Actually it makes me a little queasy
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19 KJV (*Note: This is the annual "Christmas Letter" blog post. Since I managed to skip this post last year, the post covers more of a two year period.) To some, the passage above is … Continue reading Actually it makes me a little queasy
What the sign doesn’t say …
I know, this is me being catty, or ratty, or something less than the positive, uplifting person I try to be, but when the truth comes to your mind, sometimes it doesn't always seem so positive, until you live enough of your life to get the context needed (assuming you live that long). The changeable … Continue reading What the sign doesn’t say …

The greenhouse has an abundant supply of tomato plants; I am trying to make that an abundant supply of tomatoes. Back in the spring we started this year’s experiment with tomatoes by purchasing 12 tomato plants. Ten of them are still alive with green tomatoes still turning white to orange to red in the greenhouse … Continue reading Greenhouse Tomatos
Eleven Years
WordPress just notified me that today is my anniversary with them -- I have been blogging 11 years. Some years were more consistent that the present, but with a bit of persistence, I intend to get the present looking more like the past where consistency is involved. Thank you to all of you who have … Continue reading Eleven Years
The Greenhouse
As the picture shows, we have a eclectic collections of plants in the greenhouse. While far from full, the greenhouse has a sense of crowding, as one growing plant gets close to or invades the space of another, and has to be tamed or trained to stay within its spot. I got the greenhouse two … Continue reading The Greenhouse
Taste the Rainbow
The above picture is our seasonal display at At The Rainbow. It features the produce of our garden, the squash garden in particular. Despite attacks by squash bugs, all the plants seemed rather resilient this year: attacked and bitten along one vine, the plant sent out fresh unaffected vines in two or three other places, … Continue reading Taste the Rainbow
Feeling Alone
(At least, any others made invisible were already invisible when we got there, and so we had never seen them to know that they had been made invisible before we got there.)
What Season now
Moving from Upstate New York to Western Missouri has dislocated me in my seasons, after 25 years it still hasn't settled. Growing up, Labor Day meant frost any moment. each day was an extra growing day until frost. But here in Kansas City, we usually have two or three more months where things might grow. … Continue reading What Season now
