A note to all of my Word Press friends:

I MISS you!!  My summer started in Stress mode and is ending in Omigosh, Life is So Good mode.  I’ve hardly written a thing all summer and my spirit is drying up on the inside of me.  Must get back to solitude and expression SOON.  Bottom line, friends … we are in the process of moving.  Not only moving but downscaling by 2,000 sq. ft.  It’s something we want with all our hearts … but a bit challenging.  As long as you’re having fun everything’s fine, right?

The move will be completed soon and I’ll be back to tell you all about it.  Can’t wait!

The never-ending exorcism …

“Any writer worth his salt writes to please himself … It’s a self-exploratory operation that is endless.   An exorcism of not necessarily his demon, but of his divine discontent.”
-Harper Lee

A rainy day …

When stress and uncertainty cloud the view, nothing helps more than rain, flowers, memories … and love.  And nothing is ever really lost.

Write from where it hurts …

Time to put some discipline into my days again and make my blog feel loved.  Summer has stopped me in my tracks and my brain feels like a sleepy wasteland.  I’m probably running from the very idea presented here …

The blooms of summer …

My farm grandma grew all of these same flowers and put them in Mason jars filled with well water … exactly this way. My throat is choked with memories this morning …

The best-laid plans … or something …

22 Jun 2013 Leave a comment

Apparently, without meaning to, I’ve taken a summer break from blogging.  It’s the heat, people.  That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.  I wander in, briefly look around, wander back out.  I miss you all and entertain daily good intentions to catch up on your stuff … and next thing you know I’m in my recliner sipping an iced tea or a frosty Greyhound and playing Candy Crush on my iPad.  Oh, the shame.  Okay, confession over … I feel all better now!  Thanks for listening.  I’ll be back on the job soon … meanwhile, here are some delightful graphics for your viewing pleasure.  Happy Summer, everyone!

The instant I saw this, my grandma with the enormous flower garden was by my side.  I could smell the sweet pungent mix of peonies and roses and other blooms, and feel the cool texture of the crock in my hands.  Spring lives on forever.

My poor little blog is suffering from extreme neglect.  Mama’s just been soooooooo busy!  Don’t give up on us, friends and neighbors … we’re comin’ back.

No big deal!
