For my guests

I think of my readers as my guests, and so often – as on my trip to Greece in late fall – I have been your guest. If you were my guest in Seattle, depending on when you arrive, some of these might please you as much as they do me.

Lares and Penates, Part Two

A little light-heartedness in a grey season: more of the lares and penates in our neighborhood.

Lares and Penates

Many of the houses in my neighborhood have accompanying presences.  Here are some you might notice if you were walking past, though you would not see the Pan that belongs to this house as he is somewhat overgrown by ferns in the back yard.

However, the best are the little people on the other side of the bridge from us.  They have wardrobes.
