So fellow travelers, so much to do as departure day edges closer. Found myself unable to focus on anything for long today, wandering from laundry room to garden to my desk. A little packing, lots of weeding, attempts at writing ( I will get the PDX series done before Tokyo!) Even a good long walk […]

So fellow travelers, we bid farewell to an Old Yankee Man this week. I say “we” because fellow farmie Lisa Dingle has shared him so graciously with us in her wonderful blog. I have been thinking of her and her family a great deal these days as they weather his passing together. This morning […]

Yellow
So fellow travelers, this sudden burst of blooms on my forsythia bush released a wave of memories and feelings which wove themselves into a poem. A bush breaks free from Winter’s icy grip an explosion of yellow bursting with childhood memories Joy reclaimed.

A Leap of Faith
So fellow travelers, a friend of mine is getting married today, taking a self described “leap off a ledge” in faith with a phenomenal partner.
