Ghost towns are curious places because they feel a bit off. Humans don’t like to fail, and placing oneself inside a city that didn’t quite make it translates as somewhat jarring to the human psyche.

My husband and I had a trip booked to Ireland in June 2020. Due to Covid, the trip never happened. For a myriad of reasons, it’s a trip that likely won’t happen any time soon.

A Tale of Two Colors
The similarity between Ukraine’s national flag and Van Gogh’s painting Wheatfield with Crows has been running through my mind.

Wheat fields were one of Van Gogh’s favorite scenes to paint, for it was in those fields where he found his voiceContinue reading “A Tale of Two Colors”
The Wonderful World of Succulents part 2
One of my pandemic pastimes has been learning about succulents. I started with cacti and now I have moved on to succulents (to be clear, all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti).
