A culinary delight

As I write, Greg is mowing between the orchard trees. Perhaps when he is done, we’ll sit on the front porch and enjoy that perfect snack of Ritz Crackers and blackberry jelly.

Larkspur and Violet
Sunday, May 8, 2022 4:53 PM
Once upon a time, many long years ago, a young fellow decided to go for a walk. It was springtime, and the hills were cloaked in the brightest of bright greens. He began walking beside a creek that flowed through a valley woodland. Life was bursting forth all around him.

Floating a perfect garden
Friday, April 29, 2022 6:37 AM
I have always loved the water. Perhaps it is because I grew up on a city island that lay between two rivers. I remember the smell of the fish markets, the clang of the buoy bells, and the lap of the waves as they washed against the island’s cement shores. Good memories.

The sound of thunder
Friday, April 22, 2022 7:25 AM
The day was just beginning to grow lighter when I first opened my eyes. A gray light was sneaking in through the windows and I could hear a gentle rain falling on the metal roof. I lay still, simply looking and listening, and then, off in the distance, I heard the rumble of thunder. It echoed across the creek valley.

A bit of character
Friday, April 8, 2022 6:39 AM
I swung up into the seat and sat, for just a moment, settling in. I was ready. I was sure that Old Blue was as well. I reached up with my right hand and pulled her throttle lever, ever so slightly, back toward me. I then reached down under the seat and pulled up on the brake lock as I pushed down on the pedals with my right foot to disengage the brakes.

The little things
Saturday, April 2, 2022 9:01 AM
Sometimes, it is the little things that so brighten my day. It was cold and rather dreary out as I pulled on my boots and headed off to do the morning animal chores. I actually thought twice about leaving the warmth of the house and had even considered postponing the chores until the creek valley morning had warmed up just a bit, but I knew that the animals were waiting, so off I went.

For the birds
Wednesday, March 23, 2022 7:25 AM
I have truly come to appreciate the valley’s feathered creatures since we have made our home here – red tail hawk, woodpecker, owl, great blue heron, cardinal, crow and so many others. I have, however, always loved pigeons.

The tree walk
Friday, March 18, 2022 10:31 AM
We seem to be getting on in years. The little horses, dogs and goats appear to be our elderly companions, and today was one of those wonderful, slow-paced days that was filled to the brim with elderly camaraderie.

Spring cleaning
Sunday, March 13, 2022 9:16 AM
It is almost springtime, and after this past week of warmer and drier weather, I am so very ready. The creek valley mud has thankfully dried, at least for the time being. Greg and I have accordingly been able to take advantage of the dry ground and work on a few of our nine million outside projects.

The tortoise and the groundhog
Sunday, March 6, 2022 9:11 AM
It was definitely well past dusk as we turned off onto the creek valley road, and with the setting sun, the air had grown quite a bit colder. Even though the sun-filled day had been rather warm, when Greg pulled up beside the mailbox, and I reached out the open window to gather the mail, I felt the cold on my gloveless hand.
