Today’s view of the pond
To what can our life on earth be likened?
To a flock of geese,
alighting on the snow.
Sometimes leaving a trace of their passage.~ Su shi
The snow is flying on this cold Sunday in March, and I’m just settling back in at home after spending the weekend with my granddaughters and their parents. It was lovely, and one of my favorite ways to spend a weekend.

Maddy’s flowers*
You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

*Dandelions are blooming like crazy across the lawn, on the pathways, in the meadows, and around the pond.

Mother Nature’s Christmas decorations
Yesterday afternoon, as the sun hit the Christmas decorations adorning the yard and home of the neighbor across the street, the sparkle and shimmer reminded me of the morning frost at sunrise. I delighted in the idea that Christmas decorations are a way of imitating Mother Nature’s glitz and glam. You might think I was the first person to think of this idea. You’d be wrong, of course, but you might think it based on how delighted I was with the thought. Read the rest of this entry »

Borderline
Last night while I was sleeping the pond, the woods, and the meadows disappeared into mystical, magical fog, altering the landscape and moving the boundaries. When I walked around the pond and into the woods this morning, I, too, vanished into the mist, wandering in a world that was familiarly unfamiliar.

So. How was your weekend? Mine went by so quickly that I’m still trying to catch my breath.
Wishing you…

Somewhere in Pennsylvania. October 2012.
By the time this scheduled post goes out, I will be somewhere in Pennsylvania, heading east towards New Jersey to spend Thanksgiving Day with family. The house-sitter should be all settled in, ready to enjoy a few days by the pond and with the kitties. She’s going to have some nice weather. It should be nice back east too.

Friday at sunset
I had a great weekend. I enjoyed spending time with my family, and we managed to get a few things accomplished while we were at it. The boats have been put away until next year. A large shelf was moved. And the shed was fixed.
