No More Kings

Someone’s in the Kitchen…
We had quite the culinary adventure today, my darling and I. Our green-thumb neighbor gave us a large bunch of wonderfully fragrant rosemary (and invited us to feel free to cut more whenever we liked–nice neighbor!), so we decided to … Continue reading

Flavors of Fear
Fear has a lot of flavors and textures. There’s a sharp, silver fear that runs like lightning through your arms and legs, and galvanizes you into action, power, motion. There’s heavy, leaden fear that comes in ingots, piling up in … Continue reading
Walk With Me
I love the neighborhood we live in. I’ve been taking daily walks in it through three seasons now, and although the spring flowers and lush summer gardens were pretty, the turning leaves of fall best them easily. Every day, there’s … Continue reading
