I wanted to title this blog “Fear” but I was afraid no one would read it :). There is so much fear in our world right now – who wants to read about more? I am not here to fan the fear or add to yours. Instead I hope to share what I am discovering … More UNWANTED GUEST
Clearly social distancing is a challenge for these guys. If you do not recognize this breed, they are Vizslas, otherwise know as velcro dogs. They want to be on you, next to you, smooshing you, and of course, crushing each other. I have oodles of pictures like this with humans in them as well, on … More CONNECTED
My original title for this blog, which has been swirling around in my head for months, was Look Forward. But like so many times over the past many months when I have failed to write – the push and pull of what I want to say, what I feel, leaves me confused. So I … More Left Behind
I had a run in with a bull last summer. Really it was more of a “run from.” See that big guy with the yellow tag on his ear? He’s our local bull. One day this past June I volunteered to help walk the perimeter of the pasture and check the fence. This particular part … More Muscle Memory (Jump The Fence)
If only it was this easy. Pull a string and help is on the way. You know, good help, the kind that is actually helpful. I saw this in the bathroom at physical therapy where I am receiving very good help (finally – woohoo) for the pain in my face and jaw. I chuckled as … More HELP IS ON THE WAY
I went missing – from this blog and more. I haven’t shown up here to write and I faded from friends and activities. But I want to come back. I am figuring out how. I wonder how I will do? Grief brought me to this blog. I was never more present with myself then when … More The Missing
This is a tricky Pyrex situation. Clearly we have too many pieces and the extraction of one item can lead to a crash of glass or at least require some careful navigating. But each piece was collected over time and has just the right shape or a favorite pattern. When you combine households (and one … More TRUTH OR DARE
The mail truck made it through the heavy blizzard snow today. It only delivered us some junk mail – snowy and soggy by the time I got it from the mailbox to the front door. But it got me thinking about letters and what it means to hear from people you love. Then a friend … More SEND IT IN A LETTER
On a recent traipse through a cow pasture, (a story for a different blog) I went down in a mix of mud and cow manure. I didn’t know that my boots would stay behind and I would end up on my hands and knees – sinking in the mess. Oh, and laughing too. This happened … More IT’S MESSY
The past three years have not been middle of the road kind of years. They have been years of extremes – on the floor sorrow, overflowing gratitude, nothing can stop me now energy, and total depletion. I want to get in the middle lane and slow down. This buffalo I photographed while in Montana a … More IN THE MIDDLE
