Dew sparkled on the grass blades like crystal freckles strewn across Mother Nature’s face. It was a pretty morning after a stormy night, and I waited with quiet acceptance for the deliverymen to arrive. I had been given a time frame for their arrival, but not a definitive appointment. In today’s world the norm holds that the customer can wait. … Read More
The Outcast
The invitations come in all forms…emails, word of mouth, lovely cards, and photo “save the date!†magnets that won’t stick to a stainless steel refrigerator. Ah yes, this is the season of graduations, weddings, and reunions—family, and “class of.†Recently I attended a celebration where I really didn’t know many people. Truth be told, the honored person was interested in… Read More

I mean, sure, the guy is cute, and he certainly can carry a… Read More
Dirty Paws And Excuses
The destruction was immense, the death toll high. Well, flower fatalities that is. “Whaaaa?†you ask? About a year ago I caught our dog Booker digging out a sizable planter in what can be modestly described as focused, insane, abandon. See here as a reminder: Since then, that particular planter has been “revisited†by Booker many times. After the third… Read More
