I sit here with candles lit, I just turned on the stove for tea, and my Spotify radio tuned into classical music. Winter is almost over and the spring rain is returning in my part of the world. The sound of the rain pattering . . . → Read More: The Spring of Hope

“Drop the starving artist routine. Embrace the thriving artist routine.”

Me. Photo by Scott Haydon.

It was around 8:45 a.m. I awoke to the sun shining and birds chirping (and not my bladder for once). I have not woke up to an alarm on a daily basis for about a year and a half. Noticing I was awake, Riley crawled up to greet me, . . . → Read More: “Drop the starving artist routine. Embrace the thriving artist routine.”

Those old pictures and notes from high school, love letters, birthday cards, notes from loved ones and random nic-naks that people have given me over the years.

The Fortune Cookie Is Magical

As I become more settled into my new home, I find that it is slowly lending itself to my creative juices. I have mentioned [previously] that I am more at home here than anywhere I have lived before. This has had a number of positive effects on me. I am a lot more comfortable . . . → Read More: The Fortune Cookie Is Magical

This Bird Ain’t Migrating This Winter

Frost on the wildlife near the Fortune Cookie.

After much deliberation, I have decided to stay at my current location through the Winter season. The roads were getting a bit treacherous locally for me to really want to migrate too far. The dirt road and driveway leading up to the Fortune Cookie are . . . → Read More: This Bird Ain’t Migrating This Winter
