I’m writing from the fog capital of the world. This is the view from the hotel deck last night around 7:00. Can you spot the Atlantic Ocean there? It did clear up eventually. About 24 hours later. It’s just after 9:00 now, I’m sitting on a reclining lounge chair on the hotel deck. There are […]

Preparations
Thanks, everyone for all of the quilt love yesterday. I can’t wait to spread it out on the sand, kick back with some new reading material, or a coloring book, and just relax the day away. I’m choosing to ignore the less-than-sunny weather forecast for this weekend. Denial? Maybe. But it’s preferable to imagining a […]

Whew. Glad that‘s over. Interesting as it was to try and take reasonably compelling photos of everyday tasks and let them speak for themselves here, I do prefer being able to sit down for a while in the evenings with my thoughts and share a bit. And that includes words. Often many of them. So, […]

For Week of Few Words. After a slow start involving a Wii that is going under our tree this year but clearly needed to be taken for a test drive – just to make sure it works properly. further testing may be required. you know how it is. – I managed to cross some things […]

I was struck yesterday by the small ways in which I’ve changed since I began blogging more regularly. I was working on my jewelry display, deciding where things would go for that night’s vendor fair, and putting hang tags on items that needed them, when I saw it: a picture that needed taking. And it […]

We spent Sunday with family at my aunt & uncle’s house in Bordentown, NJ. The street directly behind theirs really does it up for Halloween, and I thought you might enjoy a few photos. (It’s too bad all of my nighttime shots came out looking terrible – I really need to practice taking pictures in […]

Today I went to the farm. I was looking for zinnias and honeycrisp apples like last year, but there were no apples to be had. It was disappointing, but I did manage to come home with something else nifty: my first ever batch of farm-fresh multi-colored eggs! Yeah, I know. Where have I been not […]

Hey there. Didja miss me? Wednesday morning I hopped into a van with two baby boomers, four young boys, and a cooler full of snacks, and began barrelling down route 78 on our way to Lancaster County, PA. It was an enjoyable trip with many stops along the way to keep us busy, but there’s […]

(A rather large nutshell, apparently) Here’s what’s been happening in our Polka Dot Cottage for the last few days: First, we finally took that evening beach trip I’d promised the kids. Various factors had been keeping us from going for the last few weeks, but Wednesday we managed to do it. And Neil was able […]
