Week of Few Words

I’m planning on having one of those incredibly insane weeks.  And while I love my blogging time, and my picture-taking time, there are more pressing things to attend to.  If I want to blog and play with my camera this week, I will have to do so with a dual purpose. So…
This week, I will [...]

Good Morning, Fall!

Here in New Jersey, it’s not easy to tell that fall has arrived simply by looking around. Much of the scenery is still bathed in the verdant greenery of summer. When we walk to the bus stop in the morning, there are not yet piles of dead leaves for us to trample with [...]

Welcoming Autumn

Fall officially arrives at 11:48 Monday morning.  I was resisting the end of summer, but now that I’ve had a few weeks to get used to the idea, I’m really looking forward to the next season.  It has always been my favorite, after all.
Autumn is honeycrisp apples, pumpkin bread, and grabbing a sweater on your [...]

Taggity tag

I completely forgot about this - I have been tagged several times in the last few months. Most recently it was the lovely & talented Cat, but I’ve also been singled out by Connie, Iris, Jeanne, Holly, and Lunes, all of whom are no less lovely nor talented than Cat
Hard to believe [...]

Color Week: Blue

So many things I feel like chatting about, but I must, by necessity, keep quiet. There’s a fairly long to-do list today that can’t be postponed. I’ll be in Philadelphia this weekend, and am not prepared at all. I wish I were not half asleep. Allergy Boy had a rough night, [...]

Color Week: Red

Well, I have to admit, I didn’t realize just how much people were going to like Boring Office Guy. I mean, I found him really funny, but I’m his mother. I told him this morning about the 7-year-old who was watching his video repeatedly and who wanted to call Aidan with complements despite [...]

Color Week: Orange

I have roughly ten minutes before the little one and I have to head off to Kindergarten Workshop - our school district’s excellent, parent-run, 3-morning program that helps prepare the kids (and the parents!) for Kindergarten. I went through it with Aidan three years ago, and now it’s Eamonn’s turn.
Before we go, though, how [...]

Color Week: Yellow

Today is Yellow day for Curious Bird’s color week. Not surprisingly, yellow was not the easiest color to find around this house. I thought of the first shot as I was dozing off last night, but the rest were scavenged in the few minutes before the school bus came. The school bus, [...]

Color Week: Green

I found Color Week by way of Erin and thought I’d play, too. I really want to improve my photography, and taking part in simple little challenges like this is one way.

This is Jack. He’s a life-size doll that my mother made for me. At least, he is life-size to a six-year-old. [...]

Tag, you’re it!

We spent this afternoon at our neighborhood’s annual block party. It was a nice time, but it was hot & sticky. We wimped out and left a little early so we could come home, eat a junk finger food supper, watch an episode of Due South and play Rummikub.
Dancin Jules tagged me the [...]
