Somewhere on the Towpath Trail.
We were blessed with beautiful weather this weekend. M and I talked about going up to Cleveland for the Ingenuity Festival, but decided we had too much to do to take the hour trip up (and hour trip back). Maybe next year we’ll make it.

Iced tea on the deck
It’s that time of year again. The tomatoes need to be canned. The peppers need to be frozen. Apples need to be turned into applesauce.

When you’re cooking with food as alive as this — these gorgeous and semigorgeous fruits and leaves and flesh — you’re in no danger of mistaking it for a commodity, or a fuel, or a collection of chemical nutrients. No, in the eye of the cook or the gardener… this food reveals itself for what it is: no mere thing but a web of relationships among a great many living beings, some of them human, some not, but each of them dependent on each other, and all of them ultimately rooted in soil and nourished by sunlight.
~ Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto

Gazing into the meadow
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there! I hope it has been a good one for you.

Dandelion delight
‘Tis a gorgeous day here in the Bogs. The sky has been mostly clear and a lovely shade of blue. The sun has been warming and brightening. It seems unusually quiet without the bellowing of the blustery winds. All is calm.
The spring migration has commenced

I see the moon and the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love~ Nursery rhyme
There are variations on this rhyme and even several song versions. I like this one best. Read the rest of this entry »

How quick and rushing life can sometimes seem, when at the same time it’s so slow and sweet and everlasting.
