the little vampire

Our son was reluctantly cast as a vampire in a little movie I made many moons ago. Now he's a film studies major. Thank you, Mr. Lugosi for the inspiration!

MOUSE FACT

During its life, a mouse doesn’t move more than a hundred feet from where it’s born. Actually, I can’t guarantee that’s true. When she told me that at work today, I believed her. It was only later that I wondered how that could be tested. Did they have an airplane hangar, did they make a circle a hundred feet wide and put a baby mouse in the middle? Did the years pass slowly in that pen, fluorescent lights overhead, wandering back and forth, never venturing beyond the imaginary limits? Who knows. It’s easier just to believe.

Diary of a Dollar Store Arborist

This winter after a windstorm, I tried to prop one of the backyard tree branches with an old chair that broke. So, I went to the Dollar Store and got some bungee cords to keep the branch off the ground. Then this week, that branch blossomed with cherry flowers.
