Leaving the Garden or Despair is My Constant Companion

I am not enjoying the lesson I learned yesterday, the one I reported in my previous post. The me I have become is not one I had ever hoped to become, and I am dealing with the mental and emotional repercussions of the change. Right about now I am contemplating what sort of formulaic spiritual … Continue reading Leaving the Garden or Despair is My Constant Companion →

(Wood)RootStock

I understand, in my bones, more and more why winter is the time of planning your planting with seed and nursery catalogues. There just isn't enough time to come up with, detail and plan the current year's garden when spring is sprinting amuck directly ahead of you. So when, sometime after Easter, I decided a … Continue reading (Wood)RootStock →

The Waiting is Over

Well, the wait is over, Bob and Pat Buss. We weren't disappointed in you when Jasini sent her e-mail to you, detailing her hurt, and asking for your empathy and understanding of your daughter's pain.

Among The Very Young At Heart

It hasn't been an easy day here. Our 15-year-old dog is dying, and this looks to be his last night. He could barely get on 4 legs in the morning, and by now can hardly move any of his legs at all.

Come and See

Oh sleeper awake, step out of the night, throw open the door and step into the light Come and See - Jon Mohr, David Huntsinger, Bonnie Huntsinger I have been wandering in a "I know not what" haze of unreality for I know not how long. Looking back it is hard to say when it … Continue reading Come and See →

But everyone’s an expert

I find myself often at a disadvantage, not real, but perceived. In the fields where I consider myself skilled, my specialties, it seems everyone is an expert. Where I am not the specialist, just a rank amateur, there are always plenty of accredited experts to gainsay my conclusion, so even when I am right, over … Continue reading But everyone’s an expert →
