Summer Bounty…Fresh Tomatoes !
Stephanie Kelley Sweet, fresh and juicy home grown tomatoes are among my very most favourite food. Our growing season is so brief, we only get to enjoy them for a short time each summer, and that time is now! Garden tomatoes are delicious just as they are, but last...
Life On The Shoulders!
Life On The Shoulders! Did you ever feel like, “Stop the world … and get it off of my shoulders!” We all do at times! I did when ‘someone’ commented on my use of Big Words. Yet, going back to the June 25, 1816 Royal Gazette I found lychophronism,...
Cramp Knots Make Cramp Nots!
Stephanie Kelley Dean Butterfield had been promising to take me on a nature hike to see the where the Frobisher’s Louseworts grow. These plants are endangered, and rare… in fact, they have only ever been found growing in one location, and that is near the river outside of Aroostook....

Snippets!
This is/will be an anthology of snippets! Little things – fragments! Like – there are no regular changes in the sky, the heavens, the zodiac, that occur in seven days and correspond to a week! Sardine – there’s no such actual fish. By age 15 the average teen, nowadays,...
Alliteration Allowances!

Like too – making a modern media modicum of modest materialism. Or – The “graduated” grammarian graciously granted that grand-scale graphic graffiti generally grandiloquently graces...
Don’t Fence Me In!
Different people with different viewpoints see spirituality in different ways. To some, everything has its own ipseity (individual identity) that transfuses to its own orenda (inherent spiritual force), sometimes sincere and sometimes as insincere as ormolu!

My Mum
