Yesterday at the end of my three-mile walk, I approached the house and watched a few maple seeds spin lazily toward the ground like propellers. Other trees on my block: cedar, douglas fir. Not seen since arriving in this town: a pigeon. Instead, hundreds of crows. Whom I love. I think I may have to […]

This morning I cleaned the house. Vacuumed, swept, washed, wiped, etc. Changed bedsheets, shook out rugs, all those things that get done at least once every week. Satisfying. I used to clean houses for a living, a long time ago. I wonder if I would work harder or differently if I pretended that this house […]

Found on the back deck in a large rubbermaid container: a foot-high stack of issues of “Photoplay” magazine from the 1950s. The tabloids of their time. All in excellent condition.
