I was trying to snap a photo of a mysterious Columbine that sprouted up in my front planter. I didn't plant it. I suspect renegade vermin poop. I figure, if deer are going to munch the heads off all my flowers, it seems only fitting that they might plant something in return.

Mother nature has a sense of humour with all the sophistication of a three year old who's gotten hold a garden hose.

Summer is tender. But I fear she is going to be late this year. I fear she wandered off to some tropical locale and cannot be bothered to return. I fear she is cavorting with some other lover, some other person who always looks beautiful—their brown toes sticking out of their sandals. I fear she's figured out that I have ugly feet.

I need sunshine. I need warmth. I need the planet to feel like it is alive!

The sky burnt herself red this morning. I watched a flock of black birds circle against her glowing skin, blue clouds silhouetted golden. I felt so solitary yet strong, against the enormity of what she offered to me.

Larger daisies are Osteospermum. I think that means "boner" in Latin. Weird, right? Sadly, they withered within hours. The garden center guarantees their plants, so I thought about returning them but I couldn't get past the part where I whisper to the clerk, These boner flowers aren't into me.

I love the beach, except for the sand. In my crack.

~Play Groups are No Place for Children

No assembly required. No electronics. No playground equipment. Just a small hill, two great trees, and...imagination.

~Living a Quotable Life

We now know the secret to global warming: dumb people like me who leave the furnace running with the windows open. I'm sorry, everyone. Maybe I can reverse it by driving with my air conditioning on and the windows down?

~A Mommy Story

As a lover of the ocean who grew up in a beach town in the 60's and now lives in the mountains, I could be considered a peacenik beachnik.

~Loose Leaf Notes

My idea of going on a nature hike is to look at pictures of a nature hike on my computer while I sit in an air conditioned Panera with a big mug of coffee.
