Actually, it isn’t as bright as in real life where it resembles a fishing lure my dad and brother always used called: monkey puke. It’s closer to the olive green I wanted in this picture. It has a neon quality in real life when the sun hits it.
I told them what color it looked like — a brighter one up the spectrum on the sample — they refused to adjust MY paint to something closer. I decided to live with monkey puke this year and adjust on my own next year after some research. Rest of trim is gray, but wanted something fun for the front door and people garage door in the garden.
There’s Maggie Mae — feeling better after her antitibiotic — she has lyme disease. So hard to decide what to do with her since she’s a collie and had almost like seizuers when given flea/tick meds. She needs to see the groomer, too. Hope we got all that in time.
Garden is growing great guns.
I am feeling better but have I think some side/stomach pain is going to go on for weeks if not months. I’m not quite as exhausted, so I managed to get most of the company bills/books done today, and am watching the Tigers. Ahead so far 3-2.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…

Good to know you’re feeling better Lynn. Waiting to see pictures of the boat and the garden.
I’ll get a few boat pictures up tomorrow, but we haven’t yet all been able to go out, so not real good ones just yet! Thanks for thinking of me, Smitha.
