I was standing on our back deck, looking at our woods line when Steven came out. “What are you looking at?” he asked. “The three morning doves eating under our feeder.” I said sadly. “What’s wrong with them, they look cute.” “Yesterday morning there were two couples under the feeder.” I pointed to the pileContinue reading “THEN THERE WERE THREE”

It had three pieces of sea glassContinue reading “KITCHEN TOOLBOX”

I was walking past my living room window when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a squirrel scurrying across the telephone wire carrying something in her mouth.

I was outside filling my bird feeders when I looked down on the ground and saw something strange. It was perfectly round, the size of a golf ball and had the colorful look of a jawbreaker. I put the lid back on the feeder, tucked the bag of birdseed under my arm and scooped upContinue reading “OAK GALL”

It was after dinner and my son Alex and I had just returned from a walk in our neighborhood. We each grabbed a bottle of water and headed to the back porch where my husband, Steven was sitting. “You two have a nice walk?” he asked as I sat down in my rocking chair andContinue reading “FALLING FEATHERS”

My sister Liz sent me a picture of a waterfall. “Just checked into our hotel! Here’s the view from our terrace!” There was no texting back for me. I picked up the phone and called her. “Where are you?” I cried. “It’s beautiful!” “I booked a quick weekend get-away. We’re up along the Hudson RiverContinue reading “VICARIOUS VACATION”
