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. I must admit […]

Who’s on First?
So blessed readers….a post on the Bedlam Farm Creative Group page got me thinking….. First you may note the change in my greeting. I have felt for a while now the blog intro sounded forced. To greet this virtual gathering as “dear” implies a level of amity ( look it up, it’s a word worth […]

Sunset comes too soon……
So dear readers, I am standing at the window ( or was until I sat down to write) watching the sun sink below the snow covered rooftops and cursing the sleet that keeps me and the dogs inside. I could use a good walk to clear my clouded thoughts. You see this is the sunset […]

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 […]

Good Tidings
So dear readers, here in the Land of Lake Effect Snow we are deep into the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It is all too easy to lose sight of the Spirit of the Season when dashing through the snow in a four horse powered all wheel drive. There are presents to purchase, […]

Red and White
So, dear readers, the blogs I follow are currently filled with stories and photos of Holiday decorating. I laugh and am inspired and will have much to work with this weekend when I kick into full decorating mode. This is a bit late for me. Yes, my younger daughter and I are “those” people who program the […]

Chasing Rainbows
So, you know dear readers that I myself am a reader of several great blogs from fellow members of Jon Katz’ creative group. (quiltofmissingmemories.wordpress.com , treehousefoodie.com , quarryhouse.wordpress.com to list a few) The group also has many gifted photographers, poets, musicians and artists. Frankly I consider myself quite the interloper, a fool among princes, given to […]

Basket Day
It’s November, which means many things at our humble homestead. Once we’ve plowed through the “OMGawd ( that’s for my fellow Blogger Lisa Dingle whose work you can check out at justponderin.com ) it’s gonna snow any minute now” marathon of garden clearing, garage cleaning, wood stacking, recycling runs we are free to turn our thoughts […]

All Good Things Conclusion
You know that quote “all good things come to those who wait” and the platitude “everything happens for a reason” which we console ourselves with when faced with crushing disappointment? If you detest them then stop reading NOW because this is the final chapter of one of THOSE stories. They talk late into the evening, […]

Amphibious Ambivalence
This is Jeremiah…. While it may be hard to assess his true size from this picture, Jeremiah is one big dude of a bullfrog. He’s been a resident of my little backyard pond for a few years now and, until recently, I gave both his size and presence little thought. In fact I considered […]
