A few weeks ago, I got a note from the school nurse, the scariest note of all. Lice. Live. In. Your. Child’s. Hair. Heebie-jeebies. I read all about the cleaning I would have to do. Number one-wash bedding. I couldn’t figure out how to get the bedding into the laundry…

Hay, that’s my car…
Not really my car. I found this hay-wheeled car on the left hand corner of Nowhere, Alabama.

The rest are flowers. All this hidden behind my house in a small backyard bordered…
imagine if war could be settled this way
It would mean, instead of men marking their territory like dogs, the smartest humans would settle wars. Men & women could use with their brains. But, that’s silly, right? We like it when men behave as beasts pounding their chests, bellowing, “I’m right & you should die” I would think God is shaking his head…
window box filled with life
the box containing the flowers is rotting away, the snow has done a number on the door. The flowers look so alive that they appear as though they find the box a bit confining & wish to escape it. Montpelier, Vermont
