Duendesday

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Words escape me. How lovely is this Equinox celebration? Divine. Happy Shifting Seasons to you and yours.

Perhaps the World Ends HereBY JOY HARJO The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live. The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, and it will go on. We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teetheContinue reading “Monday & a Muse”

Duendesday is for Movers and Shakers

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} How is our little peach these days? She is counting her chickens, hunting for mushrooms, and driving the tractor-mower (again). She takes her mower-driving very seriously – she concentrates on all the steps and learns new tips. It really gave her a kick to tow theContinue reading “Duendesday is for Movers and Shakers”

Tuesday Happenings

Happy Autumnal Equinox! A time to honor the passing of time, of good relations, in the presence of responsible processes of living and dying.

We’llContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”

Monday’s Musing

Another fallacy comes creeping in whose errors you should be meticulous in trying to avoid. Don’t think our eyes, our bright and shining eyes, were made for us to look ahead with.

Tuesday – What’s Happening?

Hmmm, what happened to the rest of the days since last Thursday? Not sure – my blog for last Thursday’s recipe *poof* disappeared into the ether…and well, the other days are just touch and go. Sometime the stories and inspirations have to come from other places. But here we are – Tuesday again. As itContinue reading “Tuesday – What’s Happening?”

Duendesday Wednesday

{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} She’s a maker, a doer, a shaker, a dancer, a marvelous wood sprite with magickal powers to amuse and amaze! She’s been hard at work playing lately – making all manner of craziness and discovery. She’s been playing badminton and board games, drawing on her outdoorContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday”
