Eighteen Years
Eighteen Years
Left to right: Al Sr., Richard, JR, me...
Wasn't long after, Pa(Richard) passed the Veil(Vernal Equinox, 2000)...and, less than a year later, some worthless piece of human garbage put an end to my brother-in-law, JR, and Debbie, his lady. This day, 2001. To this day, the intensity of my hatred for the perp has not lessened. Thank the Gods for Karma; knowing that he, and I, always answer for our deeds, I put one foot in front of the other, and do my best to keep mine balanced. Seeing and feeling the pain this brought my family has not made it easy, but the pain I could have caused them by dealing with the mfs myself, and in the end not be there for any of them, gave me pause. I asked the Old Ones to give me a sign if I was to be allowed to bring retribution...18 years on, the answer remains, "No..." So Mote It Be.
Love you, J...

For my gardening this year, once Spring has sprung
One of my pieces. Stone cutting and silversmithing for 43 years now.
Louis and Fenris at 5 months...the Sisters in a moment of non-tussle 🤫
Mr. Jayne at 6 months. Filling out, in a growth surge now(taller and longer). Weighed in at 55lbs on Saturday the 16th. Loves to run and play, full of affection at all times. That's my boy!
Old School. Hand wrought for GRV. Layered plate, stamped, shaped and soldered, sanded, restamped and polished.
Jayne at 5.5 months..46.5 pounds. He is part of the pack now, the grrls having accepted him; they even school him in the household routine! His fusion with the pack has gone much faster than I thought it would. Much credit to my Loki, and the grrls too, for bringing the wrinkleheaded knucklehead along.
One more from Idaho, 2009. Craters of the Moon, with the guilty party(cinder cone) in the background. (Since visiting Kilauea is currently out of the question! Sigh...Love of volcanology...)
The man who raised me. 23 years after his passing, 3-21-2000; certain songs remind me sharply of how much I miss his voice and presence...I know in my heart that gentle Warrior flys free, as, from time to time, Red-tailed Hawks pay closer attention to me than should be warranted. On his birthday, 06/17.
Blessed Beltane to all my brothers and sisters. Keep Fire in your hearts, and may the coming days be better for us all! (Blessed Samhain to my brothers and sisters in the Southern Hemisphere. Same message applies!)
