My Week in Pictures 10-18-18
The seasons were briskly changing from quite hot to a hard freeze in one week. I had to bring in all my garden. What wasn’t ripe would have to sit on the window sill to finish.
Spicing Things Up
Having significant food restrictions to maintain my health hasn’t been any fun. I can’t eat most of my old comfort foods; eating at restaurants is a crap-shoot of undisclosed or forbidden ingredients. Breakfast at a restaurant when I can’t eat eggs or dairy, for example, leaves me with […]
Blessing of the Animals
October 4 is the day of the Blessing of the Animals, in honor of St. Francis. I am fully on board for blessing animals on this day and every day. This is a metaphysical blessing of all animals, even humans. We ask the God/Goddess/All That Is to bless […]
What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?
During the four-and-a-half weeks that Nami was missing (see Nami on the Loose here), my husband and I took many trips to the local shelter to see if she had been brought in. I enjoyed petting all the cats, and if they did not indicate they wanted to […]

We returned to The Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark after a 15-year absence. The mile and a half hike to the site seemed easier this time, and we didn’t run into the same violent afternoon storms as we did last time. Of course, we went a little earlier […]
What a Fox!
It was just an innocent walk to a sacred site in the Big Horn mountains of northern Wyoming. We hadn’t even gone very far when I heard a marmot alarming to our right. I was a bit surprised because the marmots was a comfortable distance away and we […]
The Body of Love
I was surprised recently to be “nominated” by Anita Bowden for The Three-Day Lyrical Challenge. I enjoy the spiritual but not religious bent to her blog. Thank you for thinking of me, Anita! This is my second lyrical post. I chose The Body of Love by Ben Lee, […]
