As I write there is a power struggle occurring upstairs. A power struggle between two boys who both want the same pen. Nevermind that we have a cup full of other pens not one room away. Neil is on top of the unfolding saga, so rather than get involved (too many cooks spoil the broth, […]

I have a black thumb. I don’t garden. I’ve never had much of an interest in gardening. But thinking about the impending farmer’s market season, and seeing some people online who are starting to reap a harvest from their gardens is actually giving me a bit of an itch to try planting a few crops […]

I sometimes think about people from the past and wonder how they would react to the way the world is today. How would an 1800’s farm girl feel about cruising down a busy highway with the top down? What would a Revolutionary War era housewife think about the 200+ television channels she could be watching […]
Read More: Generation gapIt was a gorgeous day here yesterday – I threw a quick coat of nail polish on my toes to celebrate the return of flip-flop weather, and I put on a great Spring skirt. I bought this linen skirt at Target last year, only it was yellow at the time. Not really my color. So, […]
Read More: Sunshine, taxes and billboardsRecently Aidan’s teacher has been keeping me aware of Aidan’s difficulty focusing on his school work. He’s a very bright boy, does extremely well on tests, but when it comes to completing classroom work in a timely manner, he has issues. The child can be distracted by anything and everything, from a speck on the […]
Read More: The good, the bad, and the distractingI am not a particularly outdoorsy person, but I have a highly-attuned need to bring the outside in, wherever possible. I like natural lighting and open windows. It makes winter tough on me sometimes, and it’s why I look so forward to the arrival of spring every year. I spent the last five days in […]
Read More: Bright and springySo, I managed not to wear the same black t-shirt and pair of black sweats for the fifth day in a row. In fact, I even managed to wear a skirt – the one I repurposed last fall from a torn pair of Neil’s pants. I actually managed to feel like a girl for a […]
Read More: Satisfying, if not entirely productiveBe warned. I just re-read this post, and I seem to have written a book tonight. If you’d like to just skip ahead to the next blog in your reader, one that is more full of photographs than pesky prose, you may be excused Still here? Aw, thanks. Now on with the post: I woke […]

I think I’m over my pity party regarding my van. Thank you for attending . Now I’m just struck by the immenseness of all this. That’s a whole lotta tree. It’s awfully cool in a “destructive force of nature that thankfully hurt no one” kind of way. Look at the size of that tree trunk! […]

Our kitchen sink is out of commission at the moment. Why, you may ask? Well, apparently while I was rinsing off dishes and running the dishwasher this afternoon, the basement was getting a shower. Yeah, there’s nothing like a big ol’ hole in the pipe to make you declutter a basement in a hurry! Fun. […]
