Lost in the Milky Way BY LINDA HOGAN Some of us are like trees that grow with a spiral grain as if prepared for the path of the spirit’s journey to the world of all souls. It is not an easy path. A dog stands at the opening constellation past the great helping hand. The dogContinue reading “Monday Musings”

Recipe Thursday: Lemon Kale Salad
I joined a book club a few years ago. I knew better but I dream about compatriots that share the same sort of ideas I do and want to get together and talk about them. I was uncertain about this group – though they were all very nice and funny and smart, we were justContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Lemon Kale Salad”
Tuesday To Happen
Oh, it is a lovely place to be these days – at Rock Bottom Homestead – and all the good things start to outweigh the bad (I’m convinced it’s in the New England water – the memory wiping of the Winter woes and the extra powerful elixir of the Summer loveliness). The butterflies are hereContinue reading “Tuesday To Happen”
Monday’s Muse

Duendesday!
{a day to check in with an almost 10 yr old’s doings} Conversation around the kitchen island this morning (I drinking a second cup of tea, D sipping on hot chocolate, Josh making crackers and trying to call the State Dept but frustratingly being on hold for over an hour/dropped/phone dying – losing it) revolvesContinue reading “Duendesday!”
Tuesday Happenings
Whoooosh – and it’s Tuesday already! Summer is almost upon us, though the weather is already here: sunny, hot, lush, with immediate needs to tend the garden. Most of the squashes are in – I’ve got to get those Wee-Be-Mini-Pumpkins and Delicata in, and the Summer smaller squashes are ready – pattypans, lemon squashes, andContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
