I think I forget to remind you. I am listening to you. Of course this should be felt as opposed to telling you but sometimes don’t we need to hear it too? I like the reassurance that someone listened; not just heard the words but really listened to me. I had the HONOR to attend … Continued
Either my kids are getting crazier or the whole world is getting crazier. Maybe both. In either case I am losing my grip. The boundaries are changing. The requests are bigger and harder. Sometimes I feel so ill-equipped, stunned that an alternative perception can be such a violent interruption to the consummate safety of a … Continued
What’s your “must see” prior to the winter? I always have a little bucket list of things that I need to do as fall arrives. Leaf peeping in Western Mass never gets old. Hitting up my favorite local pumpkin stand. Going to the fairs. And finding new hiking trails are consistent every year. Of course, … Continued
I already miss it. Summer. And feel excited at the same time. That’s what fall does for me. Of course I will miss the beach trips, BBQ’s, and the longer days but I love the crisp air and homey feeling that fall brings with it; the time of year when mother nature gives us a … Continued

There is this very nice man in the neighborhood behind my house. I don’t know his name. I sort of know which house is his. I know he has a dog. We see each other from time to time in the morning when we are both half awake and perfectly happy with a quick nod … Continued
Spring Refresh Who is ready for the sunshine, green grass, and warm weather? To me that all sounds wonderful- but we know what comes with that: spring cleaning, snow run-off flooding your yard and sidewalks, windows covered in winter film, an AC system that needs its Spring service, and OH so much more.
