ponder and wonder everyday
Dear Diary, I took a long walk with my sister this morning. We managed not to talk about resolutions or the years end. I am like that: a bit of a curmudgeon who likes to avoid holiday talk, or predictable conversations. It is why I try not  to post a heart here on Valentines. I’ll avoid the news now for a few days, or the media shows that give the top ten of of 2012. … Read entire article »

Diane Krys: Deck the Halls
During this busy season our rug hooking projects and normal creative endeavors often get squeezed right out of the picture. Â Instead of resenting a daunting holiday “to do” list, embrace it. Look it right in the eye and tell it, “We are going to sing through this with joy and creativity.” 1. Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la….la la la la…. Only a real tree will do. My topiary style Christmas … Read entire article »

I’m … Read entire article »

walk that way
Dear Diary, I miss autumn, summer, and spring. I miss walking in a light jacket and sneakers but do I lament..oh no…cause lamenting is just a weird word for complaining. Instead I trudge through the snow, consoling myself that a mile is really two because it is so darn hard to walk. I pull on my snow pants and head band and then I literally push myself out the door because I really want to … Read entire article »
the middle of winter
Winter begins with a cool series of resolutions that can rarely be kept Ice forms, then cracks Water fills brooks to overflowing and the banks on it sides never give way they just take the over flow as much as the river gives the excess does not make the river love it’s banks anymore the sun shines when it feels like it but mostly there is a crisp greyness that you just have to accept pleased that there is no storm … Read entire article »

Dear Diary I am once again teaching myself a new program, trying to make the newsletter a bit prettier, a bit nicer. I hope you like it. It is always the case that what one person likes, another is unsure of. I am not really talking about the newsletter..but about the yurt. The yurt? My friend Heather said she wanted me to go with her, and a few other women, our regular foursome on a camping trip this … Read entire article »
