Governor Brown’s 35 mile “twin tunnels”

April 17, 2013 | By Jeanne Ferris | No Comments | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

It’s bad enough we live at the other end of California buying overpriced truckloads of water to supplement our reservoir from the Goliath: Metropolitan Water District who themselves sucked Owen Valley dry…now we (David) are going to get taxed  for sucking the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta dry.  Hmm. I wonder who’s going to pay for it? • Read More »

Ahh…pockets full of posies

April 2, 2013 | By Jeanne Ferris | No Comments | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

Don’t you just love spring?  The ravens have been flying overhead with pine needles in their beaks for nests and yellow daisies have been emerging in full bloom. On the other hand, my dog needs her itchy medicine (allergies) and the cats have been crazy like banshees with spring fever. Even the parakeet has been • Read More »

An Irish Blessing

March 13, 2013 | By Jeanne Ferris | Comments Off on An Irish Blessing | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

May the road rise to meet you.  May the wind be always at your back.  May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields.  And until we meet again, may God continue to hold you in the palm of his hand. No, I haven’t joined a nunnery…but sometimes a • Read More »

Hail Mary…

February 13, 2013 | By Jeanne Ferris | Comments Off on Hail Mary… | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

…full of grace.  I find myself invoking her name daily—at all hours.  When I’m sad, mad, or glad. She is the intercessor to God.  I have questioned her meter as ‘metaMother’ and she has always answered me.  Pity the fool who cannot believe in grace or chooses not to.  How less colorful the world would be • Read More »

Peace is, was and always will be the new black!

May 2013 be an astonishing and amazing year for everyone. Be well.  Breathe deeply.  And throw caution to the wind —make sure the wind is at your back though 🙂 Eat the last piece of pie but save the last bite for someone you love. The tome still lives… j  

SKYFALL…

October 10, 2012 | By Jeanne Ferris | Comments Off on SKYFALL… | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

I LOVE this new Bond theme!  It has the retro sound of Goldfinger and I’m sure Skyfall will have the same fabulous entertainment of vintage EON productions brought into the present with Daniel Craig’s portrayal and Barbara Broccoli’s infusion. As an Ian Fleming fan from childhood (13)—I have faithfully followed the metamorphosis of the cinematic • Read More »

AHH SWEET SUMMER…

June 1, 2012 | By Jeanne Ferris | Comments Off on AHH SWEET SUMMER… | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

Songs are written about the freedom from school schedules and structure of homework.  More often, heavy metal rock rebellion lyrics than fond recollections.  They should have renamed homework–homefun–who wants homework?  For those empty nesters, the lack of structure and “busyness” of chauffering, monitering, and policing kids can suddenly be so void of a schedule, I • Read More »

HELLO SPRING!

March 22, 2012 | By Jeanne Ferris | Comments Off on HELLO SPRING! | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

I see crows in my garden digging for grub…I smell the mock orange trees wafting their intoxicating scent…I taste the early fruits of spring in the local strawberries…and I reach for whites, yellows and pinks in my wardrobe to reflect the sun and posies. Out come the dusty Easter eggs collected  over the years as • Read More »
