Maggie’s Pi Pie

  I’ve been threatening to publish this foto since January, when Maggie the Barefoot Buffalo woman was here baking… the woodstove oven won’t crack a custard pie like this, but she was using my little convection oven instead. So!! now we are in pictures!! All this downloading might just be what drives me onto DSL… […]

After a Sizeable Absence…

Greetings, Dear One! I’ve thought of you often, from within the haze that hangs around this time passed… and thanks to an unseemly amount of leaded coffee late today at a Saturday Market Board retreat, I am all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when ordinarily I’d be deep in that other equally valid and engrossing world, my […]

Big Sur

My friend Nancy Chappell is dying of a brain tumor. Locked away inside her finely tuned mind is a treasury of Art– schematics, principles, esoterica, unrealized creations… I’ve known her for 2/3 of my life. She is like an older sister. The problem is, how can I get these WORDS to convey to you the […]

Hibernation

My winter habits were disrupted in January, usually The Empty Month, but this year I won the Gov’mint Lottery and was called up for Grand Jury duty. No time for REST. (And: unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed: our legal system is all bandaids, just like our medical system!!) Recuperation from the Holiday season, if […]

All Points Bulletin

There’s a couple people I’m looking for from the dim reaches of the past… in my usual Jumbled Gemini style I’m gonna approach this matter from left field: Moving from the ’50’s to the ’60’s was a cultural change equivalent to Dorothy’s “We’re not in Kansas anymore…” ‘Flower Children’ is an apt designation! Everything was […]

Law

January was looking pleasantly empty BUT… suddenly I’m on a Grand Jury for the month. Hum now: this is my 4th call. They waited 45 years to get me… The first 2 times I was wading in little kids. Last time, Richard had just had a stroke. This time, I actually made it in to […]

Happy 2nd New Year of the new year

(The first one was the Solstice…) If you came here via my Welcome! page, I’m proud o’ ya for braving thru that Rude Message on your way in. This ‘site had been heavily bombarded by spammers (don’t they have ANYTHING better to do with their energies???) and I got rid of ’em by adding ‘http://’ […]

Making Decisions

Yes! I do know you’re out there, even though I missed a(nother) week writing… I’m here too and thinking of you. Woke up at 2 am. and noticed after a bit that my heart was beating very fast. Darn. Means that I ate something my body does not agree with. Better get out my pendulum […]

88 East St.

Something woke me up in the wee small ones this Monday morning… maybe it was a little query from you: ‘So! Where’s this Sunday’s blog??’ Okayyy… here’s about the house where I grew up. In the pressures of teenage years and concomitant escape into twentysomethings, I’d dismissed my childhood. It wasn’t until my 4th pregnancy […]
