The Truest Things
by Ogee
I had a friend I thought I would grow old with, but the friendship was false. I had a title that I thought fit me until it did not. I thought I knew the heart of my country – but lately, I am less sure. Life unfolds in mysterious and unpredictable ways. The truest things I know are found in what comes forward from the earth, in the miracles of the natural world, the connections of two souls adrift, and […]

Slowly, The Evening Comes
by Ogee
It is a rare treat to be in the Memorial Garden at sunset. After the feeders leave, a hush falls over the entire rescue as pups – exhausted from a day of play – bed down with full bellies for the night. “Slowly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon, like a magician, extended his golden wand o’er the landscape.” ~ Longfellow Instead of dogs barking, the air is full of the sounds of birds chirping, bees buzzing, […]

by Ogee
Some of the bunnies at the dog rescue don’t stand much of a chance (yes…this is a toy!). But these little ones are strictly off limits. 🙂 “Some bunny” is watching over our newest additions.

Whoever Makes A Garden
by Ogee
To my wayward gardeners (one excused for her good work with the dogs)… I understand your spring fever, but while you are away, the weeds grow wild and tall. The garden and I carry on without you – because a garden doesn’t make itself. The roses have been fed their poo tea and the narcissus tied back. The paths have been freshly laid. The weeds have been are being pulled and the beds mulched. And the new entry has been […]
