all fall down

Do you ever feel like my hosta? You’re done. You held yourself up, you went through wind and sun and rain, days and nights, and now… It’s fall. Little leaves are falling. Big leaves are falling… I think back to when I was a child and how much I loved horseback riding. For years and […]

And I thought, how would one explain the idiom,”back in the […]

And I, who am not an eager traveler, am going! Flying over the Atlantic, then the Mediterranean, to northern Africa, to a country […]
