I have decided to share a little more of my life instead of my silence. Swirling around in my mind are thoughts both bold and confusing, but lately thoughts that swing further back and settle into the center of my life as messages of wider influence than I originally had imagined. Today I went on [...]

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.
Appreciation
Posted in Nature, Places, Ruminating, Seasons, Slow Living on November 9, 2010 | 6 Comments »
I appreciate all the comments that you have left here. If only we could take a walk together and settle down to the quiet of the moment. I hope to be back soon, and will visit other blogs but probably not leave comments for now. I am here but feeling spent for the moment. Maybe [...]
A Small Harvest

Recently I wrote about my love of figs, but it might pale in comparison for my love of fresh basil and pesto. Last summer my basil plants were pathetic. This year, I have two nice plants that rewarded me with much to boast about. I planted less this year thinking they would not amount to [...]

My Other Life

This photo was taken over three years ago, but represents so much about me that I do not share in this space. Why? I am not altogether sure, but my guess is that I fear criticism for my choice as well as my passion. However, I am reminded of this consciousness and caring for animals, [...]
Considerations

Every night I walk outside with my oldest kitty to give him some outdoor time before we head to bed. He loves the outdoors but will not venture out unless I am with him, so we usually bond in this way for 10 to 15 minutes each evening. Before Jude came back from her break, [...]
Being Alone

I have had some thoughts while I spend some time alone here in Mendocino. This morning I woke up very early thinking about an all-white (or maybe it was cream) fabric. It was the texture that drew me in, something soft and comforting. I announced to my cats that I was going back to sleep [...]
Cupcakes, Campfires, and Good-byes
Posted in Memories, Nature, Places, Seasons, Slow Living on July 19, 2010 | 12 Comments »
The grandkids left early this morning. We made some wild and crazy cupcakes before they departed. And had a campfire and supper on the beach on a chilly and foggy evening. We reminisced about the time and the days that we had spent together. And then decided that it truly is the little things in [...]
Time with family
Posted in Memories, Nature, Places, Seasons on July 16, 2010 | 6 Comments »
We have had our grandchildren visiting us since the fourth of July. We spent a week in Portland and nearly sweltered in the heat and the mosquito infestation, but before we headed to Mendocino we picked raspberries on Sauvie Island on one of the hottest days of their visit. As we were shopping for cold [...]
