Doughnuts, Coffee, And The Silent Treatment
As per my usual, I left the house just before 430am. This morning though, I was on a mission. Christina had asked me to do her a favor and pick up four dozen mixed doughnuts and bring them to the office. This is one of the many menial tasks that she’ll ask me to do from time to time. I figur…
Out on the Porch
The twilight was blurred and soft. Supper was almost ready, and the smell of cabbage floated to them from the open hall. All of them were together except Hazel, who would not come home from work, and Etta who still lay sick in bed Their dad leaned back on a chair with his feet on the baniste…
I’ve been too tired to write
The past couple weeks have been hectic. I’m still in the process of setting up different accounts for publishing and finishing up the website (www.abigfivehouse.com ) working out the details of business insurance, and setting up the corporate bank. I’ve put as much information as possible on…

Musical twilight
There is a fifth dimension beyond that what is known to man, it between light and shadow, this is the dimension beyond imagination called the twilight zone. A picture of a woman looking at a picture and other picture. She was struck down by run down years. Rather then facing reality she is …
A view to a leap?
What do you see when you look out your windows, or when you go outside into your neighborhood? When I do that, I see other homes and trees. Lots and lots of trees. When I leave my street I see more forested areas interspersed with fields used for growing crops or raising livestock. If I go i…
It’s not a personal failure, it’s systemic.
I’m really not doing well. Sometimes I think if it weren’t for my dogs I would just give up. It’s surprising that I’m not really having a full on breakdown but I realized recently that all my keeping it together is actually a freeze state of depression. Once a sensitive person who easily cri…
