Other years I’ve complained about spring in NH going by in a blink. This year? Endless spring. My daffodils bloomed and bloomed. In nearby gardens, they’re still in full flower. I scraped frost off my window on May 9! I…

After traveling, I somehow feel as if I’m still moving. Or that I never left. That I’m expecting to see Hunter and Artemis and Lynn every day. And to go on another of Samsun’s family “walks”. (his pace is a…
