HOME

May 4, 2024

Voice of encouragement at break of day: “Pickup your pack, O Pilgrim, and away!” This doth the voice of Home each new dawn say. Those who go daily forth are blessed by her, feeling their spirits rise, their pulses stir, for Home is both a magnet and a spur. She sends us forth each morn…

Problem solved!

February 6, 2024

I developed a sciatica problem in October, and have been fighting it ever since. My GP gave me pain meds, and after 4 visits I managed to twist his arm enough to get an X-ray. The bones in my back were severely compressed. Too many car accidents? Maybe. At any rate, I gave up on…

Second colour of Spring

May 25, 2023

I know yellow was my first colour here, but pink is now overtaking it. It’s still spring, right? Not summer yet. This is the Japanese tree peony in my garden. It blooms way before the regular peonies. The heather is covered with tiny pink flowers. My crabapple tree is in full bloom. Luckily we spotted…

Slow recovery

March 28, 2023

I came down with a cold a week ago, and it became one of the worst colds I can remember. No fever, or chills. But a total wipeout in terms of energy, and a cough that won’t quit, no matter what I use to treat it with. Meanwhile, my job is to keep writing my…
