root plate

big tree blown horizontal
Blowing down a big tree, the force required to break the grip of a root plate is immense. A tall tree’s stem is a huge lever with branches that offer commodious sail area. Come a powerful wind, the tree is laid down. In time, we all fall down.

two dogs in the back seat of a Prius
Tilly is all about walking it down slow, saving energy, not breaking a sweat, securing the chow. Eva is Thunderpaws, ten strides to every step Matilda takes. Eva runs the high road, the low road and encircles the enemy, simultaneously. The dogs have opposite approaches but remain best friends.
red eft crosses the road
While Tilly was focused on food and Eva ran overwatch a red eft crossed our path unmolested.

Miz Mouse Mus Musculus

mouse and rodent activity wheel
She was a gentle loving mouse. Prisoner for four years. Always had a smile, devoted to the children. In her old age the twins helped her with water therapy and groomed her with their fingertips.

the past

1963 VW
Ah, I enjoyed being a young adult. The 1963 VW bug. Radio antennas. Budweiser. Cats.

Heaven

GEC Lewes
People rarely come back to share the details of heaven so I imagine my own. Family and all the old dogs.
Eva in the oaks
Walking to the ocean, birdsong, psithurism, dappled light, pathways, conversation, quiet, waves. All of that.
