Mud-luscious

August 12, 2010

“The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.”  E.E. Cummings “Clay.  It’s rain, dead leaves, dust, all my dead ancestors.  Stones that have been ground into sand.  Mud.  The whole cycle of life and death.”  Martine Vermeulen quotes “All this tangles from a black muck soil, a black muck matted like a mud-sopped rag, a muck without [...]

Cutest Photo | Baby Squirrel

When I returned home from errands, Garry drove up on his tractor and told me to grab my camera and follow him.  He led me down the driveway and up the fence line. The fence is in the process of repair and he was filling the rotted tops of posts with cement.  I had no [...]

Spring Stirrings

February 2, 2010

In some traditions, spring begins in the beginning of February.  That suits me.  The days are getting longer now.  The promise of popping crocus, budding trees, and warming weather is in my bones.  And when I think of spring, I often think of fawns.  In a couple of months we’ll see mothers with their furry [...]

Rascally Racoon

January 29, 2010

I met this raccoon one winter when I lived in Virginia.  I had a bird feeder right out my back window, and I would often sit in the window seat to watch the birds.  One day I looked out and saw this raccoon trying to climb the feeder.  The feeder was on a metal pole [...]
