tropical paradise


It's been so cold here - although Portland's snow storm is barely evident anymore. Only a few blackened peaks of icy snow exist on the occasional intersection. But since I've been spending so much time indoors, I've justified introducing more plant life into my home. Most recently, a few tropical plants that I purchased at Portland Flower Market. I've also been taking advantage of having some fresh blooming quince branches on my dining room table. With my new leafy friends and a hot cup of Creme de la Earl Grey from Townshend Tea - home feels a little bit more like paradise.

take II

Although I feel, and know, that this blog's only audience is myself and whoever might stumble upon it while lost among the cobwebs of cyberspace, I've decided that I want to begin posting again as a way to document my thoughts, dreams, and adventures. After all, documentation used to be an extremely important part of this (retired/resigned/wandering?) journalist's life.

So here it begins again. Or so the intention goes. 

More to come...
