playgrounds

Are for adults, didn’t you know?

I have a strange fixation with playgrounds. They’re always so colorful, and I do love to take a ride on the swings.

You know, at amusement parks and fairs, how they always have rides that spin you around crazy-like? Those are my favorite.

When I was younger, some of my fondest memories were my father spinning my brothers and [...]

sanctuary for my soul

When I can, I do my reading/writing/musing at St. Luke’s Private Gardens. Below, some photos I took to give you an eye into my sanctuary. Parks with benches make me happy. Park with benches and real gardens make me even happier. I’m not Catholic- or Protestant for that matter, but it’s nice that the church opens up the space for the public. If St. Luke’s parishioners ever come across this page, tell [...]
