A Funny thing Happened on the Way to Massachusetts. . .

I had a “plan” to come back for the summer to house sit and clear out my storage space, but instead I fell in love.  They say that, “life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”  I thought I knew the plan, but Great Spirit had other plans for me.

Spring is here . . . the cycles and seasons carry on while we practice social distancing.  We need our daily routines now more than ever.

The toroidal field of the Garden

I’m sitting here in New England during another winter storm. . . We’ve had pretty much weekly snowfalls that accumulate and then melt in a week or so only to come back again.  I’ve been a little antsy to get started clearing out the beds and starting the seeds, but snow has said, “no!” atContinue reading “The toroidal field of the Garden”
