Home
 Here to greet me 98 emails to sort read, keep, answer, schedule or delete, no possibility of catching up on a week of blogs and face book posts, and the piles of papers, the stacks of books, the closet room full of clothes still here.  Nothing has miraculously solved itself in my absence, but my spirit is refreshed and all is well.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I paid bills, assessed how tight the rest of the month will be, set up a schedule for the garden, corresponded with friends in France, New Jersey and Seattle Washington, read some blogs, and caught up with what needed updating.
Traveled downtown and West to the Hudson one evening for a spectacularly enjoyable book launch for
Annie Finch's "Spells" at Poets House.

Wonderful! Loved the pup videos, had me laughing too, what a darling boy. Beautiful photos with brilliant colors, lush is right. And back home, the church garden! It was a delight, Michelle, to get a glimpse of your life. xoxo

It looks like a delightful escape - my goodness you certainly do know your flower and plant names :) - so glad things are alive and well and blooming in your corner of the world. It makes all the difference :)
