Sycamore smiles

Thursday, July 22, 2021 7:17 AM
There is an old sycamore tree, down by the creek, just off the southern edge of our land. It stands well over 100 feet tall, and the base of its trunk is almost as wide as my arms can reach.

  • For the love of crows

    Thursday, July 15, 2021 8:00 AM
    My father, for a reason I am just beginning to understand, always loved crows. If given even half a chance, he would launch into an affectionate discourse on these intelligent black birds.

  • A good, long day

    I am sitting on the front porch now, in my rocking chair, in the shade. It is the end of a long day, and I feel as though I could sit here forever as I watch the clouds float over the far hill and listen to the creek valley sounds. It has been a good, long day.

  • The chicken game

    I do believe that I am becoming one of them, and it is all because of that hungry fox. When Greg asks me a question, I find myself chortling and gently clucking, rather than responding with spoken words.

  • The music shop

    The proprietor saw my smile and told me a price, but no sooner had the number left his lips, that he lowered it by one third, explaining that he did not even know that this drum had been in his shop. This was my kind of bargaining, and of course I said yes. I might have even gladly paid his first price.

  • Things that come in threes

    Monday, June 14, 2021 7:55 AM
    I simply felt good, humming to myself, and pleased with my progress. This feeling of contentment, working in my garden under a beautiful creek morning sky was the first of my threes.

  • A dose of imagination

    Thursday, June 3, 2021 7:00 AM
    As I sat swinging, I knew I needed to get back down to the garden and get back to work. Still, I thought to myself, as I swung just a wee bit longer, a wee bit of imagination was certainly an enjoyable thing.

  • The scrap yard

    I was certain that we had just entered a science-fiction movie set. All around us were mountains of discarded metal. We followed signs by the side of the gravel drive and shortly pulled forward onto a large scale that measured the weight of our truck, the drag and the metal.

  • Life’s energy

    I remembered back to our brownstone’s city rooftop with a smile. I could never have imagined then where I would be standing now.

  • Spring cleaning

    Wednesday, May 12, 2021 9:15 AM
    The new clean green of spring is all around, and on days like today, with the creek water running fresh and clear and the blue sky overhead so bright, I know that it is time to get to cleaning.
