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. […]
full moon
Have you felt this full moon? You plan this and that happens. You’re in a hurry and there are 3 school buses loading, blocking traffic in both directions. You hear something and you take it ten miles in your head. Too fast. Too slow. Thanks moon. And when I take a photo of this huge […]
holidays…they’re coming!
Can you see the frost lines on the dock this morning? Does that mean…winter is coming? Thanksgiving is two weeks away and then Christmas is upon us. I like to plan ahead. And for some of the people in my life, I do need to give it some thought. At this time of year, I […]
challenging times
Some weeks are much more challenging than others, agreed? The week started off well – it felt good. And then it didn’t. It didn’t for reasons that others share. And it didn’t because I heard that a dear friend was hospitalized. And it didn’t because of …..my ____ Lyme disease. ARGH! I started a new […]
a-a-a-h
Do you love love love calm beautiful mornings? Lke me and Peaches. 70 degrees out. We own the lake. It’s all ours. Others have put away their boats. Pulled in their docks. It’s November: ice might be coming soon. But not yet. We are the lucky ones. We are floating in our kayak, appreciating every […]
distraction
Do you ever just want some distraction? LIke this (above)? Or this (below)? Sue, my Lyme herbalist practitioner, referred to my art as distraction. Yes, I will definitely take this distraction – art. Anytime, over Lyme – a definite other distraction. But actually, NO. I love Sue, but I disagree with her on the matter […]
