Any guesses? We’re so excited. We haven’t found these since my brother and I were kids. Of course, I think it takes a kid to find such treasures… Posted with Blogsy
April Fools
We stared out at the snow on the fields yesterday morning, and determined that homeschooling needed to be temporarily suspended in order to force spring. This year, she is like a reluctant bulb, resisting our need for her to flower. And so Saoirse and Ula packed a backpack with a picnic, and we shuttled […]
How I Spent My LONG LONG winter
I didn’t just set about writing a novel (which is a little over halfway done now…I hope!). I also took on a few other learning endeavors. Here’s one of them. I’ll share a few of the other projects as the weather warms and I slowly find my way back to steady blogging once more. I […]
Hardly worth it
Even I am beginning to doubt we will ever make that first gallon of syrup this year. We got the evaporator fired up one day last weekend, and then the temperatures plummeted once more, freezing all the sap in our tanks. We’ve been at a stand still ever since. Let’s hope today’s sun will help […]
What Learning Looks Like
Following my lead, Saoirse has decided to learn how to spin in these lingering days of winter. I began a month ago. My first bobbin was spun with whips of kinky springs, undignified rememberences of the sheep’s generous gifts. I unrolled it, scuttled it into a ball, then tossed it aside. But her first bobbin […]
Back to the Good Life
Sure, Bob is still under house arrest for his recovery. But that doesn’t stop me from loving all that winter offers… Posted with Blogsy
And So the Healing Begins
It is day six since the surgery, and every day Bob seems stronger. It is such a pleasure to see. He takes two motrin twice each day, and otherwise feels no pain…but he is taking his rest seriously. Still, we find the time for slow beach walks, deep breaths, good food. We have left the […]
Thanks for the prayers!
Dear Friends, I want to thank you all for your words of encouragement, your sage advice, and your prayers. Most especially, I want to thank you for your prayers. A habitual prayer and meditator myself, I find suddenly that I haven’t much strength in me to engage in communion with the greater spirit. When I […]
A Knot for My Knots
This is the knitting project I brought with me to Florida for Bob’s hernia surgery. It is an Aran sweater that I’ve been frittering with going on two years. I was reluctant to bring it. The darn thing requires all my attention, so I have a hard time working on it. There is little […]
Let’s Make the Most of It…
Yes. That's Bob. Yes, he's grabbing himself in an indecent way. We've made our way down to Florida, our consultation with the surgeon regarding his surgery takes place tomorrow. I was snapping this photo of a cicad to send the girls, when he jumped in front of the camera to create this momento for our […]
