Verlyn Klinkenborg writes a column for the New York Times. In the piece that appeared last week, he wrote about the wind in a way I thought many of you could relate to: “By evening, even the horses were weary. They had been blown about all day as though they weighed a few ounces instead…
We went from bare grass to a coating of white in a blink of an eye. Okay, so it took all night, but I was sleeping so that’s kind of like a blink. I’m supposed to be in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for work right now, but snow and rain got in the way. The…
Thanks for all your kind comments and thanks also to the people who have privately e-mailed me. I love how you see the positive things in me, and the reminders that I’m not alone in this. Java keeps trying to comfort me. She keeps pawing at me, laying her head in my lap, licking my…
This is what I do when I can’t sleep. Moon in the clouds… kind of eerie. Turn off the flash! We’re trying to sleep here! That was last night. This is today, when I took Murphy out for a spin. I haven’t ridden him for quite awhile so I just rode in the arena, which…
I paced around the house in a daze yesterday. I decided I needed to get outside and do something to hopefully unfreeze my brain. So I took Java and myself for a walk. Considering that it’s been in the 40s all week and we’ve had a ton of rain, I thought the walking paths would…
It’s been a few days since I posted. Not that I haven’t written tons and tons, but thank God I have demonstrated some degree of self control and not publicized my sad, grieving, horrifying thoughts. A word of advice, when you lose your love, do not read poetry like this: The Summer We Almost Split…

Very zen. Good job Maery!
I love everything about this post! The poem, the photos, the feeling I get when perusing the words and images… Awesome! 🙂

Hope all is well over your way-give everyone a squish please!

Sue – Ah yes little grasshopper..
Zoma – Thanks. Things get so white and bright with the snow! (Well, and a big aperature…)
Dream Valley – I can feel another post coming on about that, hopefully with a funnier angle.
Beautiful photos. The geese, the dogs, and the world!!!
What gorgeous soft colours – I can feel the silence of the snow.
It’s been pretty colourless where I am so I’ve been looking with a few moments of colour in my pics!
I love it…”the silence of the snow”!!!
The photos tell the story but I just have to wonder what your Coffee Shoppe Dogies are thinkin’? They look intent!
God bless and have a marvelous day.
We too have snow…slicker than snot on a frozen glass doorknob out there!
Oh…I just love coming along with you for your winter walk!
I love the simplicity of your words. They make me want to toss out my to-dos and head outside to wander and wonder.
