A Meadow
When they heard the chain slip past the clip on the gate to the barnyard, they all came rushing my way. The four goats, two Great Pyrenees and the flock of chickens all gathered around to greet me as I entered their domain. Agnes, the 90 pound Pyrenees pup grabbed my leg in a firm […]

Grace and Mercy
A slight chill greets the morning sun as the first day of cooler weather ascends from the north. All seems calm as the dew covered yard and meadow glisten in the glow of the new day. Movement today is not labored or painful. It would be easy to give the weather the glory for having […]

The Fuel
A gentle breeze sweeps by the luscious fern overflowing from its hanging container. A random butterfly flutters from flower to flower in the abundant deck garden. The rooster crows and manifests for all to hear that his domain lies before the listening ear. The fresh coffee brew invigorates the taste buds as we take in […]

A wipe away or a decline in temperature will restore the comfort that once was a cooler clime. In much the same way the persistent pain that […]

The Impediment
Emerging from the rear entrance of the Cajun restaurant in which we enjoyed a delightful meal, the rain began to pummel as we darted to the car. Navigating a strange and uniquely arranged parking lot in the midst of a torrential downpour proved to be a daunting task. After multiples of turns we were once […]

Groans to Gratitude
Clouds hover as the heat from the sun is reserved for space above the mist. The landscape still showers us with its beauty and grace as the verdant green of grass and trees bursts forth in the mist of the day. All is quiet this day as even birds and road traffic seem to have […]

The Elixir
The forecast is that today will be the hottest day in several weeks. An early morning rise and attention to chores routine and periodic has rendered tasks completed and behind us. Now we are free for those things which give us passion (writing and reading) and a planned adventure this afternoon through the local Science […]

Craftsman
Fog shrouds the landscape in a way that makes the trees and gazebo appear three dimensional. Light is just beginning to break through the mist on the eastern horizon. The days are beginning to become slightly shorter and the time is approaching when the summer will be over. The presence of our granddaughter over the […]
