• A Tree Named Phyllis

  All it took was fifteen minutes of Santa Claus coming to town one silent night and my children were begging me to put up the Christmas tree.  I took out the same ugly tree as we used last year only to find that it’s still skinnier than my behind.  Disappointed that my plastic tree hadn’t grown over the past ...

  This year I am skipping Thanksgiving.  If anything, I will eat a turkey sandwich and canned corn to commemorate our Pilgrim history.  It’s not that I’m ungrateful, because this year I am thankful for so much; however, I do not feel like cooking a feast in a just over a week and I’m repulsed by poultry.  ...

  tufts of grass on a cliff collecting snow It does not happen all at once.  It is often slow, subtle, easy and soft.  Layer upon layer it builds, piling deeper and deeper, smoothing out the landscape to a gentle even white.  With time, with layers, rocks, roads, brush, even fence lines will become absorbed.  Our ...
