Home. After a six-hour drive that would have taken under four hours had I-40 West not been closed due to a rockslide near the North Carolina/Tennessee border, I pulled into my driveway. My friend James’s car was parked there, so I knew I would be greeted by my three dogs that (more…)

I’m catching up after several days of not posting here. So many things I wanted to write about have already flown from my mind. I’m sure that some random thought about my residency will pop into my head and I will wish I had included it here and now. (more…) In and Out and About at ConnemaraMarch 21, 2010

I’ve been a bit under the weather for the past few days. Oddly enough, when it is bright and sunny here, I prefer to wait to go outside until the volunteers and staff have left and locked up the front gates and there are only a few hardly hikers or walkers about.

Last night turned out to have a bit of unexpected excitement. Around 8:30, I thought I heard a thump and then a couple of short wails, as if from a siren. Then nothing except what sounded like dull thumps far away (or close and small). (more…) Monday, Monday at ConnemaraMarch 15, 2010

This morning, I awoke to my cell phone ringing. Because it was still plugged in, I managed to drop it behind the head of the bed before I could answer it. (more…) Connemara, Carl Sandburg, and MeMarch 14, 2010

Another night tossing and turning. It seems that every other night is one where I either sleep like a log or can’t sleep at all. I believe, rather like New Year’s I was awake at 2 a.m. to welcome in Daylight Savings Time 2010. At 4 a.m., I turned on the light (more…) Connemara, Carl Sandburg, and Krispy KremeMarch 13, 2010

After posting late yesterday afternoon, I decided to take a walk in the misty drizzle that had hung around all day. I first went to the goat yard, only to find it locked. I had forgotten that for all practical purposes, Connemara shuts down around 5:00 p.m. Walkers (human and canine) are encouraged (more…) Connemara, Carl Sandburg, and MeMarch 11, 2010

It was nearly noon when I awoke today, having slept almost twelve hours. I’m sure one reason would be because the shades were drawn against a dreary day outside. (more…) Connemara, Carl Sandburg, and meMarch 10, 2010
Yesterday I traveled back the way I haven't gone for nearly seven years--from Kentucky to North Carolina. (more…)
