What we have here is a study in black and white (mostly). Look closely. Can you see the pooch? He’s in the garden. There’s still “a bit of snow” here. Rumi was loving it: it’s been warm so it’s melted…

You have to admit, this looks a little sad. Daffodils that I bought have wilted. Daffodils in the ground are – well, where is the darn ground? And what happened to the oh-so-white snow? Spring in New England: something to…

Looking out my window, what can I see? Nothing. I wanted to shoot a photo of the fog, but the camera WILL NOT shoot. It won’t take a photo of nothing. It’s refusing: “What do I focus on? There’s nothing.”…

I wish I could claim to be a tidy person. Clean, yes. Tidy, not so much. I call myself “organizationally challenged”. When I’m in the midst of an art project, I don’t even SEE the mess I’m creating around me.…

In the south when you can’t believe what you hear, or, well, even when you do – the answer is double syllable: “Wha-at?” As you can see, my well-loved (can you believe someone made these??) salt and pepper shakers are…

Here’s Rumi. No one here now to play Bananagrams. So sad. Everyone left today. When Krista Tippett gives her On Being interviews, one question she always asks is something like: “Can you tell me about your childhood experience of religion…

Nika turns 30 today! To celebrate her birthday here, she and Scott drove from Maine on Friday. I picked up her friend, Clarissa, that same evening – she had flown WOW Airlines to get to the US from Ireland. And…

This is what every living being should be doing after all the snow and more snow we’ve had. Is it snowing right now? Don’t ask. Much more interesting is to talk about… holes. Well, kind of about holes. I ran…
