It’s how I feel after walking my dog on a beautiful summer night. It’s how I feel after eating a tasty dinner grilled up by my husband – and having that dinner on our deck in the sunshine and breezes. It’s how I feel when I finish mowing the lawn […]
Ta-ta, spring!
The weather the past few weeks has been simply splendiferous. I’ve always been very fond of temperatures in the 70s. I practically hum with happiness on days with those temps. It’s warm enough to sit comfortably in the grass (or to read in the wagon), but not so hot that […]
Well, at least the sun is shining
I’ve been trying very hard to be patient with spring this year. As soon as the calendar turned to March, I heard people grumbling that it was still snowing. Well, yeah…it’s Michigan. But it kept snowing and it’s also stayed cold. And now that it’s actually April, I, too, am […]
A boy and his icy friend
We haven’t had much snow this year. Gotta cram in those snowpeople when the opportunity presents itself. Although Dev was a bit concerned by the leaves, dirt and, um, yellow stuff that was turning up in his snow as he was rolling it. Hee.
Sneaking one in before February ends
The snow days this year have fallen on Fridays. All two of them. Friday is a nice day for working from home…and entertaining a 7-year-old. Last year we whipped up some Star Wars pretzels during one of our days off. This year we turned to the over-ripe bananas on the counter for […]
At this point, a “month in review” is in order
Because I’ve gone all month without a single update! I’ve been really bad with updating and with taking photos this month. So even though we did a lot more than you can see here, I have no record of it. Let’s just assume we had fun! September started off with […]
Pirates and quesadillas
How’s that for a blog post title? I used to do this thing with Devin’s blog where I’d go a couple of weeks between posts and then just plaster it with photos. (If you click on that link, be warned that I don’t update the site anymore. It’s in limbo […]
Momma got a brand new bag
Really. I did! Isn’t it swell? My old camera bag was nice. I loved it for a long time. But it’s more than three years old and it’s very well-worn. And the many, many pockets that I adored when I first got it have become increasingly frustrating when I’m trying […]
Not the most relaxing of snow days
I’m not sure what I was thinking today when I moved from one kitchen project to the next. When I decided to bake up the oatmeal for breakfast, I figured dinner would be the only other thing I’d tackle. The only reason I opted for the oatmeal is that I’d […]
