April 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I’ve been wondering about whether or not to feed the birds. The owner of our rental house took care to point out to me the bird feeder hanging from a pine in our front yard, showing me how you can see it perfectly from the living room, and telling me about the joy of watching [...]

Our Own Backyard

March 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

We’ve been living here in West Sedona for four months now, and enjoying the views, sitting in the yard when it’s now snowing, fooling around a bit in the garden, and walking the neighborhood. Pretty terrific.

The Bottom Line

Recently, I received a comment to this blog chastising me for failing to give credit for a piece of artwork that appears here. I would have responded directly, but the commenter apparently wished to appear anonymously.

Here we go…

November 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

Two weeks ago, we moved to a new garden. I vowed – well actually I didn’t quite vow – I thought it would be a great idea – to chronicle my co-creation with Nature in the new garden. So we could all see it evolve together. Maybe even make some comments.
