Tuesday, September 11


September 11th and it falls on a Tuesday in this year of Our Lord, 2012. Looking south I see the cloudless blue sky of eleven years ago. I think of the words of John Greenleaf Whittier: "Clear in the cool September morn."

What it isn't and what it is


It's not the latest image from a distant planet. It's not a polished piece of jadeite. It's not a beautiful ceramic glaze.

It's a wonderful gift from an upstate farm.
