Titmice in the can. Morning doves in the box. It all sounds like a secret code based upon birds and indicating a place where the action is taking place. It is about place more than action. What is happening is a kind of falling in love with home and the sweetness that simple sights,...

Saturation point
The air conditioning in my car is caput. Apparently, so is my memory. The AC was caput last summer and I forgot. Well, it was a cold winter and that chased the memory of heat right out of my brain. Memories can apparently slip through the crevasses in the skull as easily as some...
All hail and hairy wildlife
Instead of recounting my wrestling an alligator today, this is on my mind and I thought I’d share it. Before things got worse, or worse yet, before we are never heard from again I thought I’d reach out to the world, say my goodbyes to my family and let the world know that despite...
Always Rachel
Today is Rachel Carson’s birthday. She has been honored and recognized as one of the founders of the modern day environmental movement. She showed us the delicate balance in our world and how every connection is an important one. She showed us the connection between the life cycle of a chemical and the life...
Corms on the wire
The first time I became aware of cormorants they were hanging out on the jetty in Provincetown Harbor. They seemed as if they were coated in oil. Their feathers, which hardly look like feathers, eminded me of the old fashioned oil cloth table covers. They’re great swimmers and move underwater like seals. That’s where...
Sitting with cats
I’ve come to taking my adventures in small doses during the week. There might be times I can move to larger adventures but the weekdays don’t often leave me time or room for this. So when I need an adventure I take Molly in her carrying case and head straight for my car on the...
The Daily Feel Good
The eagle has landed. But the eaglet has not yet flown. We just checked. It’s still in the nest and waiting for a meal. There are now signs in this parking lot, which allows the best view of the nest, directing people to stay in their car to view the nest. It’s a good idea....
Come on now
Spring isn’t what I expected this year. Turns out I’m not alone. It’s been like this for a few years in a row too. So you’d think maybe we would expect it to be like this. But it takes a long time to get the feeling of a season into your bones and then,...
The oy vey of compassion
In honor of everyone that can sing and can chant ‘oy vey.’ In honor of those that have never been honored. In honor of all the little things you do that nobody notices. In honor of the trees. In honor of the river with the dunking duck-like birds. If I have done this before,...
