Begin Again
Begin Again is the title of a collection of Grace Paley’s poetry. It’s also an excellent title for a short blogpost about my weekend at the farm. My nephew and his family are now living there. There is a wading pool in the back yard, a tricycle and a bicycle with training wheels and a pink push car in the driveway. There’s a new kitten, Enya.
I am home again, with several additional boxes of stuff, plus four quilts made by my various ancestors, a very large cabbage slaw slicer, an old handsaw, and a porcelain chicken.
I need to get my manuscript out and turn myself back into a writer.
I’m glad you had a nice weekend. I’ve read some of Grace Paley’s short stories. I’ll bet her poems are good, too. I’ll have to check them out.

So glad to hear this! The farm! It’s saved….
It was a nice weekend…and I’m so GLAD my nephew is there. A new generation of kids will grow up in what I consider to be one of the best places in the world.
