My perspective here.
I am the poet and writer of this blog, married to my DH Ueli, and mom of two teenagers with two cats. We live on a farm in Switzerland, in a very old house which we are renovating.

Turning over a new leaf Today I took a walk through our garden and the woods. I saw new life bursting from the dried, dead and winter withered growth. The cats feel it! They are restless and bouncing off…
