We have had lots of visitors of the four footed kind, but this little porcupine has been a regular visitor....Portica...she loves the edges of things, like the driveway...sort of like a hedgehog which also likes the edges...sort of like me....

12-12-12- almost a year since I posted anything....facebook has sort of taken over.
Since I was a little girl I have walked barefoot in the snow...partly because my mother often walked in the snow in barefeet--because she did not always have shoes...and partly because I like to welcome the first snowfall...welcome in winter...and this year I was not home in Maine when the first little snow fell, so this is the third and I am remined of a place in Japan where the Buddah's foot steps are in a clay tablet...a reminder of my steps..towards the center....
