Farm life in difficult times

The look on their faces makes me smile. Especially the children.

SANG ROZE!!!

In my fourth next life, I'll run away to join the circus and eat cotton candy for breakfast every day.

Stopping at the sight of this mixing bowl sitting on a barrel by the door of an antique shop. The second largest of the Pyrex mixing bowls that many of my generation came to know our colours. Yellow #green red blue.

I am thrilled to see my poem "Stargazer" in the just-released issue of Constellations.

Another treasured photo from the farm. Three sweet girls, cousins, wearing what look to be lovingly sewn homemade dresses, grow up to be three strong, intelligent, compassionate women that make their family proud.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Another photo that travelled across the ocean with my Swiss grandparents in 1929. The traditional male dress of the people of the Caucasus symbolizes their fight for freedom.

I do not write much but there is not a day goes by that I do not think of you.

I wonder who this little charmer is. I really have no idea, though I do see a family resemblance. All I know for sure is that this portrait was taken at a Lyceum Studio which operated between 1936 and 1949 at 290 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg and ...

My #SundaySentence this week comes from the incomparable Tom Stoppard, from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead: “Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.”✨💔

I’ve had this photo for some time, but it’s only now that I know who this child is. Her mother, Minna Geissbuhler, was step-sister to my maternal grandmother, Emma Locher Ammeter. This little girl is Annie Minna Geissbuhler Huntington, born on December 20th, 1923 in Lafayette County, Wisconsin.

Another photo from the collection I inherited from the family farm, though I don’t know how this sweet child is connected to my family. The name Fritz Geissbuller is written in tidy script on the back. Olson - Darlington, Wis. is etched in block letters on the front.

For bears and humans alike in this part of the world, this is a very welcome sight: a frozen Hudson Bay. Bon voyage, and bon appetit!

In my third next life, I will be the sparrow who reminds you of the tiny gifts in this world.

I wonder what they were talking about.
