		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again, when my taste buds give up on peaches and berries and begin longing for crunchy pears and apples. We have a lovely old pear tree above the old homestead on our land. Every year, I wait for the pears to ripen&#8230; &#8230;and every year, the competition beats me to [...]]]></description>

So when I woke at five this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People often ask me what it&#8217;s like to live in a yurt. As I wrote in an essay published in The Smoking Poet last Fall, much of the living goes on around the yurt rather than in it. And that&#8217;s as it should be with a shelter traditionally used by nomads. Take the shower. There&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
