I should have come home and walked the two boy dogs before it got dark. I should have trimmed doggie paws and combed little ears. I should have swept, raked, and dumped leaves and acorns into the organics container. But instead I took a small glass of wine, some cheese and my writing notebook out … Continue reading Try this instead

What happens every 4 years on January 20th…
I finally gave up on solving the WordPress Woes and switched to another browser. Amazingly, all is well. So I'm back in the blogging saddle and very happy! This post is a little late, but I feel it is something I need to share and, just to note, it is NOT a political post. Last … Continue reading What happens every 4 years on January 20th…
General Failure
When I clicked on the scan button immediately a message appeared on the monitor screen: Could not perform the requested operation. GENERAL FAILURE. My first reaction was what does that mean, but almost instantly I also had to laugh. What a great way to say that something went wrong, but offer no explanation.

I was shocked, especially since I was just a few miles away. At that time the story was just developing; we all know the outcome and the … Continue reading Heaviness of Heart
Determination
I wasn’t too surprised when I saw this little viola growing through the crack in the cement. Violas are very hardy and are prolific re-seeders. I’ve often had them “come up volunteer”, as my grandmother would say, in a spot close to where they were planted the year before. They don’t require a lot of … Continue reading Determination
Flash thoughts
This will not be a deep, insightful post. As I was getting out of bed this morning I had a number of thoughts about a topic I've been thinking about all jump into my head. All at once, in a split second. As I went through the day I thought about these thoughts and, while I didn't … Continue reading Flash thoughts
A change of pace
I don't think I need to tell anyone that life is down right hard. It's tough. And, the nitty gritty can really get you down. Some days are just harder than others. All in all, we get by and usually say somewhere along the way that life is good. Those of us who have lived … Continue reading A change of pace
