Laurel Ridge Daffodil Fields, Litchfield, Connecticut - Poet in the Pantry

There’s a place near my house where people flock every spring for the photo opps. Like a reverse leaf peeping season, there exists a very small window of time when the hill is blanketed in shades of yellow, sure to brighten anyone’s day.

Graffiti - Poet in the Pantry

New York offers an abundance of street art viewing opportunities.

Slow Down Saturday

me and my sillies - poet in the pantry

Weekends should provide an opportunity to recharge ourselves, run down from all the hustle and bustle of the work week. Relax, read a book, spend some time with family, and find peace within ourselves. Instead, it has become just as busy as weekdays, if not worse. Yard work. House work. Running errands.
