Found this little guy sitting on my radishes this afternoon. Looks like him and his brother decided today was a good day to jump out of their nest which is in the hollly next to my garden. Mom has both of them stashed in among my veggies and is feeding them squirmy things and chasing off anything that gets near such as the neighbors cat.

Nothing drastic, just watching what I eat and starting to do some exercise like jogging and strength training. I have lost about 25 pounds now and I feel a lot better physically. For the last 15 years or so I have had a pair of pants that I use to wear sitting on the back shelf of a closet because I

she awakens from a nightmare of pain, of suffering, of loss rolling over she reaches for him before she remembers, again that he no longer sleeps beside her blurry eyed, she stumbles into the bathroom looking for the pills they say, will help her forget she finds instead his shaving cream and the cologne their son got him for Father's Day she finds her son in the living room asleep on the couch,

I built my walls with special care beyond the bricks and mortar, over the grief filled moat, is a minefield sprinkled with packets of despair you see I left them there so if I breached my fortress and dared to venture forth I would stumble on my path and know no hope so here I am in the open lost & broken with no way home
