All Hallows’ Eve

All Hallows’ Eve is almost upon us.  On this night, as tradition tells, the veil between life and death is at its thinnest. 
Now THERE’S something to ponder as the afternoon of October 29 wends toward nightfall.  I watch as shadows move up from the bases of the near hills to their crests.  Red, orange, and […]

Ground Hog Day

I’m not a person who craves adventure.  In fact, if anything, I crave order and routine.  That’s not to say I don’t have my “zany” moments, but we’re talking craving here!  So settling into a pattern is something that I would expect to find comfortable.

Getting Started

Getting started with blogging is similar to getting started with just about anything, I guess.  As I explore this new venue, I’m seeing some patterns in myself.  First off, there’s the feeling of disorientation that can come with anything very new.  It’s not the writing, it’s the platform that I’m talking about.  I’ve been exploring […]
