    June 5th to July 11 book of the month, The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side by Agatha Christie

    Agatha Christie was an interesting lady. At one point she disappeared and turned up sometime later going by her husband’s mistress’s name at a hotel.

  • Evening In The Flower Grotto

    Evening In The Flower Grotto

    Yesterday, I spoke about one of my favorite spaces to hang out outside. The Flower Grotto. When it is warm enough, I like to light the citronella candles, and hang out there. Often, I write, sometimes I snack. Other times I day dream about the mysteries of the forest area that partially surrounds our little…

    Lady Spring, The Lady Of The Forest

The air smelled of the heavy clouds forming above the dancing trees that were getting wilder in their movement like some kind of indigenous people dancing for the sky, the…

    Celebrating Spring

    It feels like winter… Cold today. Clouds invade the sky, they hang there making a concerted effort to blot out the sun. But she has become too powerful to be muted. She peaks through in breaks between the clouds, fighting the good fight against the white fluffy invaders. She has allied herself with the blue…

    Reinventing Self Care

    Tooth Powder Tooth Paste left, mouth wash center, minty sugar lip scrub right. The wind is whipping the leaves around like wild dancers in the air on an invisible ball room floor  hanging somewhere above the goat’s hill. It is cold today very cold. And to contrast the leaves dancing beautifully is the roar of…

    Did You Miss Me?

    Well, that was some time. I have missed this blog. We had some technical glitches that Dr. Farmer Moomin, doesn’t often have time to fix for me. Plus, writing about Covid, had become as bad or worse than highly depressing. Yes, even here in a beautiful, reasonably safe situation….
