Katherine’s hedgehog
Katherine does not waste words. Not much to say about these, she wrote. I just liked the graphic when I eliminated most of the color. She did not mention the bee. Two or three years ago I came home from Providence Farm with my CSA share and a bonus: a dried flower that, like these, […]
Ghost in the forest
August 1, 2010
Yesterday was an unpromising, drizzly sort of day. Dulleyed and droopytailed, we trudged along the road. But wait, wait—what is that? Deep in the swampy woods something white glowed. Well. A person who goes walking with a terrier and a spaniel becomes intrepid. Off we went into the swamp. Indian Pipe! I had never seen […]
Cat’s Eye View
July 31, 2010
I am Miss Puss. I will be your guide this evening while Gerry is off committing poetry at Stone Circle. We have some interesting neighbors in the vicinity of the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. Here, for example, is Daddy Loooooong-Legs. You will notice that he has only seven legs. He had an unfortunate encounter […]

July 23, 2010
Let’s catch up on the progress of the local weeds. Here we have Common Burdock (Arctium minus) in bud on July 14 and in bloom a week later. Below that there is a big, sharp thistle. It’s either a Bull Thistle or a Pasture Thistle and either way it’s a terror. Next to it is […]
Sometimes life is a day at the beach
July 14, 2010
Rob the Firefighter is coming to visit, and we are all atwitter. Here, pull up a sand chair and a nice cold drink. You can watch the Duo goof around on the beach while I fluff up the Writing Studio and Bait Shop.
