What Do I Think Happened?!

About a two weeks ago I got a new floor. The weekend before an outdoor shower was enclosed. The next day, walls were skim coated and finished. The day after that a prefabricated garage was purchased. Next came cabinets, one at a time. As usual with our own projects, we are making it up asContinue reading “What Do I Think Happened?!”

A Find

This must be an East coast boater thing. I’ve never heard of it before, but everyone I mention it to, has. I’m the odd man out, because I didn’t know about these giant blocks of styrofoam. They look like ancient old trash that we found in the crawl space under the house. What a surprisingContinue reading “A Find”

Happening

We have had a ongoing dialogue with the town over building permits. We now have a good education about what can and cannot be done on a property. Neighbors have been six years trying to get a remodel approved. Its a thing. We also have had many back and forth conversations regarding building, water, electricityContinue reading “Happening”

Its a Good Day

Its warm, not raining, (though my garden and I genuinely appreciate a good summer rain), Its not hot, not windy or humid. It’s lovely. Also, I’m up in my attic studio starting yet another octopus painting. Listening to something uplifting, while decent music plays from somewhere else. Later, I’ll end up at the beach, probablyContinue reading “Its a Good Day”

Art!

So I am enjoying my ‘octopus period’ Even if no one else seems to get it I am oddly inspired to make painting after painting of… well… octopus after octopus I’m sure my housemates think its crazy. And maybe it is. What I find interesting about myself, is how I can’t really get out ofContinue reading “Art!”

Retrograde

I am not at all informed about where the planets are in the cosmos. I’m not even sure which ones are still planets, but lately I’ve been hearing a lot about Mercury going into retrograde. So I looked it up. ‘retrograde’ means what you think. Something moving in reverse. Backwards. Not forward. Besides being aContinue reading “Retrograde”

Solving Problems

That is maybe what life is about? One example: Canada geese Big problem. Huge. I forget until, there they are again. Way down by the water, far far from the house. The neighbors are all annoyed. Nobody wants them messing up their grass. G read that they don’t like laser pointers. (Whoever discovered this wasContinue reading “Solving Problems”

A Little Reminder

Wasn’t it Ram Dos who said ‘We are just walking each other home’ Here we are just living our lives. Did I agree before landing here on earth on some of it? Am I making parts of it up? Do people come and go with purpose? I like to believe that its all a giantContinue reading “A Little Reminder”

Hints of summer

Warmer days, short thunderstorms, ice cream, flowers, evening gardening and fresh cut grass. Sand, salt water, sunscreen and bug spray. Summer is almost here! It’s easy to forget the charm of this little town when bitter cold weather lingers, but then, as if over night, the flowers and foliage take over. The sun shines longContinue reading “Hints of summer”

What if…

…we really can wake up and live within what is, but better? What if our present reality has everything we need to live our best life. What is circumstances don’t have to change, because our perspective can? So, there I was, just the other day, reeling from a number of uncomfortable things, when someone decidedContinue reading “What if…”
