Poppy ~ Tomaz Salamun Cover up the people when I step into the room.Throw blankets, tents and powdered milk on them.Bury them in the soil, I’m a hamster.Wrap them in gauze. Draw crosses over their mouths.There’s a fire in the Laurentian Library.Breathe bread and soil and rain, choke your children with the brand of oars.Continue reading “A Muse for Monday”

Mid-Week (or rather, our weekend)
I had a long conversation with a wonderful person in our community the other day about all the possibilities right now — in fact, I’ve had this conversation quite a lot lately with many. About what we’re trying to do and how we’re trying to accomplish it, and the things we will have to changeContinue reading “Mid-Week (or rather, our weekend)”
Tuesday Happenings: welcoming the good that comes from the bad…
So, we got a email letter yesterday sent to our website (I’ll share it below because why not…it’s interesting to see people’s words and thinking, but without their name because public shaming people who do not know any better is not our thing) which solidified how we’ve been feeling in this area lately. We knowContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: welcoming the good that comes from the bad…”

If we’re lucky, all the plants are working it out,Continue reading “Tuesday Happens: Cosmic Imbalance”

She was annoyed that I was trying to take a picture. She swooped aggressively up and back from the grape arbor to the volunteer milkweed stand by the new well. I thought if I stood still enough she would settle but instead she watched me. She flew far off to the garden so I steppedContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”

Recipe Thursday: Summer Pasta Salad with Lemon-Mustard Dressing
I think anywhere else (besides Canada and Alaska), this might be called Spring Pasta Salad but for us, the peas come in just at the beginning of Summer. For those of us who put them in a little late and don’t have covers (ahem), we are likely only to get one batch off these vinesContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Summer Pasta Salad with Lemon-Mustard Dressing”
Tuesday: Recap
It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend, family and friend visitations, a big birthday (whoo hoo!), and a town event (not as big as one would have hoped, but still sizeable). Many hats in many rings (many rings on one hat?). We have survived and are now on our ‘weekend’ which also happens to beContinue reading “Tuesday: Recap”
