Tuesday 21 September 2010
Rossnaree House
County Meath, Ireland

“Here, fine china is mixed with plain. Same for the silver that is polished not so much as to have lost that beautiful grey tone patina. Fruits and vegetables gathered from their garden—unseen—fill various bowls, a huge hall centerpiece long past fresh stalwartly graces the entry cabinet. Yet a small vase of fresh flowers, pink roses, is in front of me next to the darling old crockery milk pitcher.

The finish on the dining room table is marvelous. It’s almost black with… what could be years of waxing and varnish? Picture frames are chipped, carpets sprinkled with the everyday debris of the dogs, meals and people. The rooster seems to be the family crest. It’s on their silver and over the door. The dining room has a large table wide enough to seat three on the narrow end and four on the long side. Two sideboards flank on the walls and another miniature table holds the toaster and various serving dishes.

I’m up for tea and toast with jam having spent most of the last twenty-four hours sick in bed. I was envious that Susan and Martha were able to go to Newgrange. Last night—the Autumnal Equinox, was also a full moon.

Elk Rapids, Michigan

“The scent of lemon fills the air from this huge potted geranium bush that I brought to the back patio. I’m practicing writing and drawing what I see and hear in the moment. A crow caws loudly from the cedar grove. Another answers, ‘chip-chip-chip’ as it flies in. What are they up to? ‘Kew-Kewwww.’ More have landed in the cottonwood. Planning their day? Are they going to Petobego Pond this fine Sunday? The cicadas whir. A light breeze.”

Monday 04 July 2011
Torch Lake, Michigan

“I’m at my cabin facing the lake from the long end of a picnic table. Walls of screen rise six feet around me on the three sides from the short foundations. All the shutters are up on their props and ties. To the east, a grove of seven cedars shades the cabin from the increasing heat of the rising sun. Just before the sun is straight up, the tiger lilies will open in the patch outside my screens. Some yellow-spired flowers and a strand of grapevine silhouetted in the air have invaded their space.”

“Love and gratitude.

The cottonwood that the neighbor lady planted when she was young is alive with the wind–hush, shush, softer, louder, flickering, waving. Is it on another planet? The pine–smaller–under it hardly stirs. The other yard trees merely gently wave their limbs. It is the messenger of the south wind.”
