Radical acceptance and October snow

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Kathy

Good morning, dear readers. Just got inside after scraping off eight or ten inches of crusty snow from the car. While I was out there in the dark, I warmed up Barry’s car before he left for work. It’s 28 … Continue reading →

The unsayable and the ordinary

Posted on October 16, 2020 by Kathy

  We awoke to a February snow.  Maybe five new inches decorated our winter landscape. The temperature promises to inch up in upcoming days into the 30’s and 40’s (0 to 7 C), but for now winter still sings her … Continue reading →

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Kathy
