Substack! Is it a blog, or a newsletter, or a new form of social media? Well, it’s all of the above, and it’s a place to share ideas with others, to meet interesting writers, gardeners, mystics, Tarot readers, and restorers of habitat. Why do I write there and not in a plain newsletter? Because I want to meet new people, and get outside of my known circle of supporters. It’s the same reason really that I have this website, and in linking the two, I’m making sure you can find me easily, keep up with what I’m doing in the studio and outside my four walls. I am also a Tarot reader. These three areas of my life are deeply integrated, each one informing the other. When you subscribe to The Hidden Pond, my weekly newsletter aka blog, you’ll receive an email notification whenever I publish. Use the link below to subscribe. I hope you’ll join me each week as I write a new post.

A New Page for the New Year
As we roll over into 2023, I’m rolling out a new page on the website, documenting the changes that have occurred over the years here in Lincolnville.
The Return to Santa Fe
When I travel, it is with questions. I go with some ideas about what I would like to learn, and come home with new information that I could not have envisioned when I set out.
Gilles Clément’s Planetary Garden
As gardeners, we are conditioned to approach gardens “appropriately,” which means that we learn how to impose our designs on a landscape that is always in flux. For instance, it’s been my mission to keep the goldenrod out of the sweet fern, to pull up native jewelweed where I have decided it doesn’t belong.
