There are versions of you that haven’t been born yet.

I collect bits and pieces of versions of you I didn’t even know, and somehow it makes me feel less alone, as if an old friend is staring back.

I sold my mothers dining room table last night. One of the last things my mother mentioned to me, in her right mind, was what a poor job I was doing taking care of it. She was right but I like to believe it came alive in the second part of it’s life, rather than sitting lonely in a room waiting for people to commune around it only a few times a month.
Read moreJoy of My Life
Willy’s crazy energy, which I thought was entirely too much at the time, proved to fill in our home with so much love. I miss him: his big spirit and all the joy he gave us. How lucky we are that he swooped into our lives and ran rampant with our hearts.

Grace Paley
I started the day wishing you Happy Birthday wherever you are - whether you’re Stardust or a being in a different ecosystem. Your memory is still so alive in all our hearts. But oh how I miss the sound of your voice and your laugh.
"Ask yourself one question: does this path have heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use."
- Carlos Castenda
I’m not even sure I know how to truly sense the heart of some thing. My mind plays tricks on me and I project what I think are peoples intentions. I’m still working on trying to find my heart; to listen to its desires. I feel so lost, sometimes trying to let my heart lead. Perhaps just for today I will listen.
Say Cheese
Nevermind miss A's smoker's cough; she's starting to talk (term used loosely) and she starting to understand what we say to her - it's a pretty cool experience!
Fresh Cut
It's amazing what can unfold in a year's time. These two keep getting funnier and sassier.
I love every minute of it. I know they'll put me through my paces like an good comedic genius would.
too funny...
The tomatoes were on autopilot once we got them in to the ground. I know I posted it before but once they started to bloom, each day felt like a scavenger hunt of flavor. I'm so sad to see the cold set in. We have so many green ones left; miss A still tries to make a dent in them.
Zoo Tour with Thoma
It's always great when Emily comes to town. A zoo tour with beer please and Cards against Humanity? The day really couldn't get too much better for me.
Garden Variety
The tomatoes in our garden this year have really been amazing! Miss A loves to pick and eat as many as she can; she prefers the green ones.
