Housedress
When I was a kid it seemed like I spent most of my summer in rural Western Kentucky with my grandmother. When I picture her on those hot days, I see her in a housedress. The simple, cotton dresses were loose fitting but not oversized, usually white, sometime with a delicate print of small flowers … Continue reading Housedress
Four-Year-Old Me
Saturday I was in the woods riding with my good friend . We were deep a large, old growth forrest full of oak, maple, birch, hickory, walnut and sycamore trees. The light breeze moved vibrantly green leaves enough to make the light dance on the trail. The dense canopy blocked the harsh sun light and … Continue reading Four-Year-Old Me
Jitters

WORDLE Unites
I started playing WORDLE in January. I sucked at it. I found it challenging, but I kept showing up to play each morning. I don’t remember if my brother or I brought it up to the other first, but daily results started appearing in our text chain. He and I talk and/or text every day, … Continue reading WORDLE Unites

Today was the first time in 2022 that the sun made a spotlight appearance in early morning yoga. The light is returning. Soon we’ll arise from the fallow of winter to explode with the new life of spring. A week ago today I can down with something. Though I tested negative twice for COVID as … Continue reading Friday, February 11, 2022
