Of Spring and Hope and Blooming Eternal



By Claire Booth
I thought today would be an appropriate day to take a breath, and think not of crime, but of peace. My garden right now is brimming with it – color and light and life. All things that for me bring calm and reflection. I hope there’s something that does the same for you. And if you celebrate today’s holiday, the happiest of Easters to you.

A Time for Turkeys



It’s turkey season. Yes, there’s the meal on Thursday, but I’m talking about the reappearance of our neighborhood flock.

They show up about the first of November and stick around for several months. And I love them. They remind me that our neighborhood isn’t just all about the humans. And they make me very thankful I live in an area that has wildlife.
Access to nature is important to me, and so I’m thankful to have it in my everyday life. And as we close in on Thanksgiving, I’m also thankful for my friends and family, and for my writing.
What’s important to you? What makes you thankful? And how much extra time would you factor in if you knew you’d get stuck in a turkey jam on the way to work?
