It was late in life when I saw my first cedar waxwings and they completely surprised me! Ever since then I feel blessed when they zoom through town. It's funny how we perceive nature as blessing us. Lately it has been happening more and more, and not just with the "special birds," but…

A huge burst of energy stormed its way through here on Saturday. The darkest clouds, huge winds and sideways rain scrambled the air. It was the day of the night when I tried on someone else's shoes, attempting to understand how her life might feel. An impossible task, especially if the…
