AutumnTide

On September 28, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Autumn here often shows her colors right around the actual equinox. This year she was a little late to start the party, at least from my frame of reference. My first visit to Maine -- a week long recon mission a few years ago -- coincided with the equinox so that makes a definite point …

Oh, the Times, They are A-changin’

On September 19, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

...with apologies to Bob Dylan...Change is afoot. Yes, deliberate change (as in the Year (More or Less) Of Transition. But methinks something else may be afoot as well.Yesterday evening, my partner suggested that I might want to "sense" my wardings, as he felt "a wind" that he had not felt before.

On Being Thankful for Little

September Songs

I always recall the title of a poem by one of my favorite poets this time of year: September is Summer Too -- or -- It's Never Too Late To Be Uncomfortable ... except that this year, August and the first few days thus far of September, have proven to be, to me at least, …

Don’t Borrow from Tomorrow

On September 1, 2013 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Normally I am not a worrier. Mind you, I used to be... back in the distant past, back when I was a new mom. I think that is normal. My mom was also a worrier. She worried about me (some very valid worries, actually, as it was her worry and her follow through that kept …
