Starcat’s Favorites: End of Summer
I know, I know, I always go on about how much I love summer. It’s true, I do. But I also adore autumn. So the end of summer brings more loveliness. This year it’s all a bit tricky. Not only because the weather has been weird, making for less swimming and other outdoor activities than…

Starcat’s Favorites: Milton C. LoveCat
In the midst of all the chaos of this autumn, we welcomed a new feline family member into the fold. Everyone in the extended family is completely charmed by Milton. I know you are, too, right?

Starcat’s Favorites: Cats. Always cats.
Oh, beloveds, I haven’t written here since June. Why? On July 4th, my beloved familiar Sir Percival T. LoveCat crossed the rainbow bridge.

Starcat’s Favorites: A Taste of Spring
This is how we roll in springtime in Maine. Snow and new growth, co-existing until one day the melting accelerates. As I write this, the rain is helping with the melting process. It’s also the eve of the Full Blue Moon, and nearly the end of March (can I get a resounding “huzzah!”?). It’s been…

Who Are You, Really?
When you were born into this Earth plane, it wasn’t as a blank slate to be filled up. You brought with you certain talents, inclinations, and preferences. Sure, you were influenced by your family members and early-life experiences. But from the palette of options that surrounded you, you made choices – even as a very…

Life and Other Necessities
Ever have one of those weeks when you feel like you didn’t accomplish anything? Here I am on a Friday night, looking at my ever-growing to-do list and wondering what I actually did these past five days. I gave it some thought, and came up with, well, a lot. The things that still sit staring…

Starcat’s Favorites: I’m Ready!
Happy March! Not to rush Mother Nature or anything, but I’m more than ready for the Spring Equinox, which happens this month. Or more accurately, for the warmer weather that it will presumably usher in. It’s been a cold week, and we still have a couple feet of snow on the ground. Don’t get me…
