Sea Glass Poem: What Gets Lost

I wrote this free-write prose poem while at the ocean the other day.

It was decorated to look like Rudolph and a gift from her dear friend given last Christmas. She was collecting pine cones and leaves and things that reminded her of the seasons. We were delivering a few Christmas [...]

Signs of Life: Beach Combing

I don’t understand why life ends so abruptly, why shocks hit like heat lightning seeming to threaten others but not us until we are zapped, or why, at the beach, I am so happy.

The Coop Mentioned in Globe South plus pictures and hours!

If you missed the Globe South bit about the Hingham Coop (under Hingham) here’s the link:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/12/07/final_chance_at_tour/?page=2
It mentions how four former professionals who are now stay-at-home parents joined forces to open the store, welcomed other vendors in (I call myself a stay-at-home feminist) and they have more interest from vendors than space to rent out. I’m [...]
