Too big to fear
It was a fine day for a walk on the beach. Far out on the Bay ducks paddled in pairs, making duckly conversation, keeping a wary eye on Miss Sadie and the Cowboy. Closer at hand, much smaller creatures seemed completely oblivious to the enormous beings that had invaded their planet. There were ladybugs all over the place–different […]
Sore paw
April 14, 2010
I have a sore paw. Comes of making dinner while thinking of other things, cooking rice, heating butter, chopping up a pepper to saute—uh oh. I very nearly cut off the tip of my left index finger with a serrated knife. That wouldn’t be cutting so much as savaging, eh? Anyway, it hurt very much […]
Thieves make off with construction materials
April 13, 2010
Yesterday I was clicking away at the keyboard when movement caught my eye. A cute little chickadee. Wait, wait . . . Hey! Whaddya think you’re doing?!? The chickadee perched there, with a beakful of my shoe lining, looking innocent: Who, me? She hunkered down inside the shoe and kept working. Maybe I wouldn’t notice. […]

April 7, 2010

Pineapple, poetry and Grampa’s Log
April 5, 2010
Think of this as a little spring concerto played on bongos accompanied by the first and perhaps the last of the Dutchmen’s breeches . . . Part I, written on Sunday, in which Pineapple appears I’m invited out to dinner. My contribution is in the oven, and a little glass of pineapple juice is at […]
