Dora’s Story, Rehab in the Desert

April 20, 2015 by Kate Walter

  It was very good luck that led us to the J-Six Equestrian Center last spring. Thinking my husband and I were permanently moving from the southwest, I was looking for short term boarding for our two horses, out of the heat of Tucson and accessible to long distance truckers.   I visited J-Six Equestrian…READ MORE >

Keeping Horses

April 11, 2015 by Kate Walter

Wandering Waldorf teachers, Michael and I landed in Tucson, Arizona, and I found myself for the first time in my adult life completely horseless. That wouldn’t do. I started scouting out horse people, looking for a horse to ride. Horses and their barn facilities surround and interpenetrate the city of Tucson, and I enjoyed interesting…READ MORE >

Slow Down, the Roses Won’t Bloom Without Pollination

March 14, 2015 by Kate Walter

The Fairy Duster, desert spring, growing by a wall.

Monarch butterflies will soon be on the wing. Spring is coming, and they are getting ready to move. I can feel it in the air, the travel urge, because spring softens the air here in Tucson, blowing the dust around and whispering of all the possibilities in the universe.  Get ready to fly! And I’ve…READ MORE >

Almost Spring

February 24, 2015 by Kate Walter

Fossils seen at a gem show in Tucson.

  Funny how overheard remarks get caught in the memory. A lifetime ago, I published a weekly newspaper in a small rural community, and one day I overheard a nurse in our medical clinic talking about me.  I don’t think she knew I was there in the clinic lobby, while she was one room deeper…READ MORE >

Tom Vanderhyden – Master of a Traditional Craft

February 5, 2015 by Michael Wright

elsewhere in the room, the remaining nesting tables stand beautifully in readiness.

Tom and I stood in the middle of the room and looked up. The space was large and yet comfortable, defined by the wooden posts, beams, walls and trim. There was a warmth that filled the space all the way to the peak. I have spent many hours in this 20 x 26 foot timber…READ MORE >

Garden of Radio Delights

Roll back the tape: 1960, Cincinnati, Ohio, 3 am. My upstairs bedroom.  Headphones on, I’m squinting in the dark at the lighted dial of my Hallicrafter S-38e short wave radio, with a Q-multiplier attached that I built from a Heathkit. The S-38e was produced from 1957 to 1961, making it the end of the Hallicrafters S-38 line of shortwave…READ MORE >

Music in the Wood: Harmonic Forms by Paul Fairchild

I climbed down out of the Crow’s Nest and spent a recent Saturday afternoon worrying a pile of knotty red oak rounds with a maul and wedge, whittling them down to size for the wood stove. As I split them open, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful swirling grains in the wood, exposed to the sunlight…READ MORE >
