Road warrior

July 31, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

I've been patient, I've been tolerant, but I've reached my limit. This goes out to all the motorists who have been trying to kill me on a nearly daily basis. I ride my bike at least 5 days a week. I wait until after the morning rush is over to head out, and I follow … Continue reading Road warrior

It’s hot out here…

July 30, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 27 Comments

Despite my best efforts to get out for my photo hike early in the morning, it was still hot as blue blazes. Coupled with the near 100% humidity, I literally sweated through two sets of clothes in less than four hours. (I actually do take changes of clothes when I go out, since I know … Continue reading It’s hot out here…

Rest in peace, Maxx

July 29, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 26 Comments

Rest in peace, good and true friend... Last night we said good-bye to a cherished member of our family. Our Maxx, a black Lab, succumbed to lymphoma. She was 15 years old. This was a difficult decision for us to make, but it was also the kindest one. We could no longer allow her to … Continue reading Rest in peace, Maxx

A son of Lir

July 28, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

A veil of illusion binds him. His snowy hair and onyx eyes belie his age. Fair of face and manner, only the beauty of his voice compares. He walks as if on wing, his feet barely touching the earth. Fairytales and legends he whispers in my ear. Myths of Druid spells, witches and enchanted swans, … Continue reading A son of Lir

Daddy’s girl

July 27, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 21 Comments

If there was ever a Daddy's Girl, it would be my daughter. Going into it, I knew that my husband would be a good father. He turned out to be a great father, even if his baby girl has him wrapped around her little finger. From day one he was a hands-on dad. He wanted to … Continue reading Daddy’s girl

Rainy days and Mondays

July 26, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 16 Comments

The pounding rain and thunder woke me before my alarm. Good thing, since the storm had also knocked out the power. That meant a dark and cold shower, and no coffee. Being up early, maybe I would have enough time to stop on the way into the office. A Monday without copious amounts of caffeine … Continue reading Rainy days and Mondays
