It was my Sweetie, the artist, who pointed it out – how the smooth blanket of snow on our deck had morphed into something new, something a bit more interesting.

Today’s find: Proximity
It was a lovely night for listening to the blues.
Today’s find: House money
There’s no feeling quite like that of unmerited grace.

Today’s find: Chump change

Today’s find: Irish blessing
As a rule, I don’t expect St. Patrick’s Day to be a source of many blessings in my life. For the most part, I find it a tad tiresome – all the green and the blarney. (Can you guess that there are virtually no Irish genes in my bloodline?)
But St. Patrick’s Day 2014 is turning out to be a bit different, it would appear.
