yearning for green?
Do you ever feel as if the opposite season is SO FAR away? When the ground is HARD and – in Virginia, of all places! – covered in white. Do you yearn for green? More green than is offered by the evergreens, you want the shifting multitudinous greens of summer. (front and back of standing […]
it’s solstice/Xmas, etc./travel/in and out time
It’s that time! Just past the winter solstice (I did need reminding), almost Christmas/Hanukka, etc., I’m heading to Toronto… and hoping my dear partner is out of the hospital before I leave. LOTS going on. Would you say? Do you feel it too? I imagine you might. So let’s just wish each other the best […]
550 million things
Galloping across the miles. From state to state. Traveling. Traveling. Traveling. You get there. You’ve made it and then… you wait for your soul to catch up. That piece of wisdom I credit to what I read was an indigenous cultural understanding of the travel experience. True for me. Except in this tiny boat size […]
time to go
One house lit up across the lake now. There are not many people still here. It’s quiet. If it wasn’t so windy, there would be much more ice on the lake. It’s cold out this morning. 12 degrees and blowing. Time to pack my bags and head south. (night cat tote shown) You know that […]
almost
Winter is here… almost. Birds are flocking. Ready to fly… almost. It’s time for me to go to Connecticut… almost. It’s Mercury retrograde. The weather has been terrible. I was not looking forward to leaving here. But this weather has me thinking, it’s not a good idea to stick around. I’m convinced… almost. Do you […]
why?
I look out my window in the early morning and see this! And as I click the photo, this. The otter is catching a rather large fish under my dock. Why would I ever want to leave this place??? Have you ever asked yourself that question, when you’re about to change scenery? You’ve decided. You’re […]
what’s next?
You’re looking down. To the left is the lake (no ice on it yet). You see pawprints … what are those? Not Peaches. She hasn’t wandered along the lake in the snow yet: it’s early morning, after the fresh snowfall. It’s the bobcat! I haven’t see him. Now I know he’s still around. Was it […]
thank you for being a friend
Do you remember that song? Is it from kindergarten? Or the hippy 60’s? It’s snowing out. On the day where we all think about thanks. What better thought to have at any point in time. And now a day set aside. If you recall from another post, I celebrated early this year with Samsun and […]
it’s blowing!
Can you just hear that wind howling? Knocking down branches. Soaking the dock. Weather is such a vibrant occurence in this location, right on the lake. (And yes, I did kayak earlier – before this built into a full blown gale.) (Peaches loves a windy day) Amanda and Samsun are here. What a welcome visit […]
Peaches
“Not me again!” …Peaches. What would I do without you??? I realized yesterday that I share with you my constant companion ALL the time, but is her image yet on a tote? I pulled out my pile of hand-dyed silk, waiting to be appreciated. These are pieces that were expected to be used and weren’t. […]
