The felling of an old giant. Yesterday was a big day in the woods. The big old veteran Beech tree which has been a beautiful, wizened companion for me since moving to the woods was felled. The tree had contracted Phytophthora Plurivora, and since the site sees a heavy footfall due to the forest school, the Forestry. Commission had advised felling in order to make it safe.

A blog about taxes, expenditures, and all things in between. AMA on Taxes with Yours Truly. I will be doing an Ask Me Anything. The topic is tax policy. I am a little nervous about the ask my anything part, because, well, it is not like I know everything. Anyway, feel free to join me and, gulp, ask me anything.
Ma Vie, Mes Amies.

Saturday, July 19, 2008. Kendall making cousin Max cry. Friday, July 18, 2008. How do I catch this stuff called sunshine? I caught a tiny sunbeam. It fell into my palm. Just like a morning daydream. Placed there to keep me calm. I knew not why it landed. But there, it did reside. This gift that I was handed. Had much warmth to provide. I clutched the sunbeam tightly. And pulled it to my chest. Brushing its head, so lightly.
