Cleaning House...

In more ways than one...

Staving off the panic by attacking the clutter that has piled up in the hazy days of summer...

I hate this part... but it is what it is...

Had an issue with a domain that I keep mostly for email and so had to clean things up after many many years of neglect.  While I was at it I decided to install the latest verion of Movable Type...  It appealed to the digit head in me and has kept the panic (sort of) at bay so of course I've gotten totally carried away...

I've figured out how to consolidate some of the pieces and places I have scattered all over the great and powerful internet and so will be updating this site to run from MT too.

For those of you who follow my ramblings here (all 2? of you) the zenslaw.com url will still work, and (I hope) the feed will not change.  If you come here by way of zenslaw.typepad.com, you'll need to make an adjustment...

Don't leave me now, it's (almost) fall and my ego can't take it...

It's May it's May!!

Happy May everyone!!

May is my favorite month, and lilacs are my favorite flower. How lucky for me they both arrive at the same time!

My goal for this month is to be as aware and present as I can possibly be, and to enjoy every minute...

If anyone needs me I'll be in the yard...

It's time to save China Mulan...

I would've taken the job... You know in the palace with the Emperor... But then... that wouldn't have been a Disney ending would it?

(How did the REAL story end??)

Anyway, the shape of this flower reminded me of the one from the movie...

'The flower that blooms last is the most beautiful of all...' Great news for all of us late bloomers...

I think though that you bloom whenever you are ready to bloom... and you can make a difference no matter how late you start...

It's here it's really here!!

It's hard to believe that in one week we went from this

To this

and this

and this

Even these guys are back!

Is it any wonder I can hardly sit still???

Michigan Springtime...

Isn't it glorious?

Um yeah...  This is not actually what we have here today...

THIS... is what I saw when I got up this morning:

I'm not thrilled...

I don't think Mr. Robin was too thrilled either...

Hey Canberra, send my summer back already will ya!!!

Springtime in the Green Mountains...

I guess just means it takes longer to freeze your A@# off...

It IS gloriously beautiful though...

It's here it's here!!

It's spring it's spring...

I can breathe again...

I can breathe

Again...

It's time to fly back home...

:D

Songs about trees...

Glimses of clarity are a gift...

As clear and soft as icy water flowing over polished stones...

And even though I know that well being born of oxygen enriched air and bright glorious sunlight flowing straight into my eyes is a purely chemical reaction...

I can still feel the touch of the trees and the songs they sing...

Right before they go to sleep...
