Have you ever had so much on your mind, but you can’t really get any of it out? That’s how I feel right now. You would think all sunflowers are alike, but they aren’t. I learned recently – when picking flowers for Gertie’s grave – that each flower hosts its own individual Spirit. Many flowers,…
RIP Gertie…
I haven’t been up to posting here much lately. Mostly I have been very busy. Some days I am overwhelmed with what has happened in my life and the changes which have occurred. I can’t really say much about it here, but once I get my books out there in the world maybe I will…
Thrifting again…
I think Yoyo’s jail time helped. I hated to do it, hated to separate him from the girls, but it was getting ridiculous. And since he spent the day in jail he has behaved better. He seems to be going after Turtle less and will at least listen to me when I tell him to…
Nobody’s getting along…
I walked to the thrift store this morning hoping getting out would be fun and take my mind off some things. I wish I could report that finding some old linen napkins and the walk did the trick, but no, not really. I really love our cats. I love our ducks. But when they aren’t…
Stormanoia…
My new neighbor, Gail, was struck by lightening some years ago. The energy shot into and out of her leg. She’s nearly 70. She’s a real character. She talks unabashedly about her rough first marriage…how her husband broke her nose and now she has sinus issues there. I can’t tell if she walks funny because…
Space, place and patchwork…
Jude has got us thinking already, about the space we create in and what patchwork means to us. I guess I’ll start by showing you my space. It’s a royal mess, and it has been for some time. I don’t have a clue where to begin or how to organize all of this. I have…
Not a Girl…
I had to take a break from here for a while. I have been recovering from a big shock. I thought about going through the previous posts and deleting any evidence, but decided to just leave things as they are. I won’t go into detail, but it turns out I am not expecting. Something was…
Back home…
We are back home after spending another beautiful weekend at the loft in Hot Springs. About a week before we went, I dreamt we owned the loft and were moving in. *sigh* It really does feel like home to us. Maybe someday? As we drove back home yesterday, the closer we got the more the…
Tears…
I am slowly getting caught up on my blog reading as I had taken a break from both reading and writing since August, trying to get back to things. I just finished reading Grace’s stories about how they fled from the fire in November. I haven’t been reading her newest posts, so I had to open…
Quiet reflection…
Being sick is a good time for some quiet reflection. Here are some flowers I purchased last month. Half price at the store. Lovely. The people in my life seem to have left me alone to heal, checking on me now and again, but mostly leaving me to recover from my misery. Sinus infection? Cold?…
