The past month, and longer, I’ve not been myself, trapped in being unwell, with no energy left for anything I normally do. The fog is lifting, sun is breaking up the shadows and I am feeling much more like my usual mermaid self.
Some recent-ish photos that I love, and that make me feel happy, just [...]

Tales of a weekend getaway

Hubby and I needed a recharging weekend, he’s been very stressed at work, and I needed some relaxing, outdoor time.
I found Pilot Knob Inn, a charming B&B located about two hours away from home, out past Winston-Salem.
Before checking in, we went to Hanging Rock State Park, hiked up to the bouldering field and got to [...]

Spring springs
Posted in creative, inspiration, nature, spring, writing on February 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Spring begins to step out of her shell early here
but still reluctantly
Trees, dipped in cotton candy pink paint, have begun to pop up here and there
Buds and morning dew are artfully arranged on trees like christmas lights
Birds chatter happily to each other in the mornings
while geese fly about sounding bossy
But Spring is still timid, too [...]

B and I went out hiking on Saturday, to Hanging Rock State Park, out by Winston-Salem.

Photos from a quiet lunch

I have a confession. I am a work drone. I very, very rarely take a lunch. I bring my lunch almost every day, eat at my desk, usually working. The rare times I leave it is to go to the bank, or maybe pick up lunch and then go right back to my desk. And [...]
Sometimes, you just need to feel the rain

This morning, I was completely exhausted. Coffee didn’t help. I felt like I was moving at half-speed, at best. I figured by the time I got home, I would just fall over and go to bed for the night.
But a lot of water and some fresh-squeezed orange juice got me feeling like myself again, to [...]
Walk in a green wood

Walk in a green wood with me
Past a brook, tripping and racing through the trees, not caring where it is going, it trusts its path
Feel the earth grow and awaken beneath your feet
Birds watch from the trees, some singing with joy, others silent observers
Walk in a green wood
Where the scents are new and possibilities unfurl [...]
Come play in Ogunquit, ME

On Saturday, after we wandered around Portsmouth, NH, we headed up the road to Ogunquit, ME, maybe 20 minutes away. I love Ogunquit, it is one of my favorite spots. The ocean, the cliffs, the cute little town, the beach that goes on forever.
Brian had been on the outskirts of town, but he had never [...]
