at sunset, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. This is a photo that I took at sunset yesterday. I’d made a quick trip to the garden to gather herbs for John’s Father’s Day dinner and then just had to snap a few pictures. I came across this quotation yesterday and it’s been in my mind ever since: [...]
windowsill garden, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. This is the windowsill in my kitchen and these vases hold flowers from my garden. On the other side of the window you might spy a few of my fuschia plants and a double begonia. This is what I see when I’m washing dishes (lucky me)….

rocky mountain glory, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. A weekend with friends in these very gorgeous mountains. Pic taken as I was trying to distract myself from Caroline’s crazy driving on curvy mountain roads! This trip has become far more interesting than I originally planned.

Oh, and a bit of sex, too…This week I’ve been desperately trying to beef up the enrollment of my summer school class so it doesn’t get canceled. I am thinking I’ll stoop [...]

These teachings are summed up nicely in this excerpt from the book: “Flower Insights” [...]

Manifest plainness,Embrace simplicity,Reduce selfishness,Have few desires.~ Lao-tzu (604 BC – 531 BC), The Way of Lao-tzu [I've posted this bit of poetry before, but it bears repeating] The peach blossoms have been replaced by almond-sized green nubs, getting ever closer to peaches with each passing day. Yum! :)
Starting during the last Christmas season, I’ve tried to have every gift I send be handmade. It’s not always possible for me to make the items myself, so when I’m pressed for time I look to Etsy for extra-special gifts. Because I’ve just loved everything I’ve ordered, I thought it would be fun to share [...]
unfolding, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. I don’t want to tell this story, really, but I will anyways. On Wednesday afternoon I felt a strange burning on my left calf–in the area where my wound was from 10 days ago. Later that night after being on my feet for a few hours at some meetings, as [...]
