Posted on March 31, 2013 by

Today the busyness of the last couple of weeks hit me, I felt a bit like the walking dead.  Cautious of the materialism of “holidays” I continued with a low-key “celebration” of Easter, treating it as more of a typical Sunday with some added conversation … Continue reading →

Nature, Help Me.

Posted on November 26, 2012 by
