A hat and the fine art of deduction

When I first stepped outside into the gray morning, I did not go far. I paused. I felt as though I might lose my balance if I was not careful.

    Perhaps you recall this past summer when I wrote about our homing pigeons adopting an errant cardinal nest.

  • Fond memories of winter’s trees

    The weather may be cold, and the skies more gray than blue, but I am so thankful for the winter trees and their gentle reminders of my life’s stories.

  • The perfect bowl of oatmeal

    Sunday, January 10, 2021 12:16 PM
    I know that I have written about oatmeal before. It runs deeply through my life. I believe without any doubt, that there is nothing in the world quite like a piping hot bowl of oatmeal cereal on a cold winter morning.

  • When the neighbors stop by the valley

    As I walked down the log stairs to put the kettle on the stove, I could see that even though the sky outside was overcast, there was still a diffuse brightness flooding the creek valley.

  • The new year

    Tuesday, December 29, 2020 8:05 AM
    The seed catalogs have already begun to arrive in the mail, even though the new year has not yet dawned and spring is still months away, but as I leaf through the brightly colored pages, I am once again filled with a wonderful feeling of excited anticipation.

  • The first snowfall

    Tuesday, December 22, 2020 8:53 AM
    When our creek valley world was dressed in white and I walked across the upper field, leaving footprints as I passed, I remembered back to a city snowfall, long ago, when I was a child.

  • Hitting my stride

    Thursday, December 17, 2020 10:56 AM
    Living off the grid these past 14 years has been a wonderful adventure, but I feel as though it certainly took a while before I felt totally and completely at home. Now, I could not imagine any other life, but as I think back, it occurs to me that it has always taken me a while to hit my stride.

  • Frost shadows

    Wednesday, December 9, 2020 1:04 PM
    This year’s first hard frost brought me back to a morning several years ago. I remembered that it was still quite dark out that morning, when I put the coffee water on the stove to boil. When I leaned forward to peer through the kitchen window, as the cold night turned into a chilled gray day, I was glad to be warmly surrounded by the beautiful wooden logs of our home.

    I looked toward Greg and could see that he was making steady progress with his backfill endeavors. Need I tell you that we did not meet in the middle at all? Greg never said a word, except to let me know, with a smile, that I was an excellent stomper.
