Feathers in the snow Beautiful even in death Nourishment given

The Dead of Winter

So blessed readers (and I call you that with true intention as blessings you may need if you dare continue reading) This is Jack. Jack, as you may have noticed is no ordinary snowman.  Jack is in fact a ZOMBIE snowman.  I owe his presence in my life to the muse of a fellow Bedlam […]

The Saturday Sabbatical

So blessed readers,  several fellow bloggers have posted recently about the importance of  consciously committing to creative time.  It is said great minds think alike and while I lay no claims to any form of genius, I found myself in sync with these same thoughts.  Here is my post on the matter.

Words not mine

An evening dog walk open windows angry words grateful they’re not mine.

There is a place     where nothing is impossible   […]

Sunset comes too soon……

I have spent the day on my least favorite task of the year: “packing up Christmas.”  Much to my surprise  I finished several hours before dinner, so I had time to sort photos to prepare for an upcoming workshop being offered through the Bedlam […]

A Winter Solstice Reflection

So dear readers the winter solstice has arrived. Here in Upstate New York it is a pretty dismal rainy day, very reminiscent of Scrooge’s visit to Christmas Future.  It is rare when I don’t appreciate temperatures in the 50’s in winter, but today they are not welcome.  You see  I need snow today because snow […]
