Monday’s Muse
Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moon’s sphere; And I serve the fairy queen, To dew her orbs upon the green. The cowslips tall her pensioners be: In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies, fairyContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
Seasonal Celebrations/Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Josh’s Panzanella (i.e. Bread Salad)
Lughnasadh, Lammas, or even Freyfaxi, and Perunov den, in addition to Hopi Snake and Flute dances, and Native American Eagle dances – all within the mid summer (not be confused, apparently, with Midsummer, which is somehow actually Summer Solstice and not the middle of Summer at all, like the approximation of August 1st – evenContinue reading “Seasonal Celebrations/Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Josh’s Panzanella (i.e. Bread Salad)”

Keep her from spindles and sleeps at sixteen, Nightmares at three or bad husbands at thirty, These will not trouble her eyes. Dull days at forty, false friendsContinue reading “Monday’s Musings”

Duendesday!
{a day to check in with a 10 yr old’s doings} Tuesday went by within the blink of an eye – we prepared some fresh foods (made pickles – with radish pods, set up kimchi, made some vegan pesto, roasted tomatoes for winter sauce, cut up and froze rhubarb, etc) and went to the Farmer’sContinue reading “Duendesday!”
Monday’s Muse
All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony like pure water touching clear sky. I like to think (right now, please!) of a cybernetic forest filled with pines and electronics where deerContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
