2014 so far…
We’re only 3 days in and I’m already tired of this year. When will we at last be over this blessed vomit bug? For more on that, today’s post comes courtesy of my husband, Lance, from an email he wrote to a friend early this a.m.: After working outside all day IN THE FUCKING BLIZZARD,…

Happy New Year!
It’s good luck if your entire family is down with a stomach bug for New Years, right? In lieu of a proper post, and it’s been ages anyway, so who am I kidding, I resolve to write more regularly here — I couldn’t exactly do worse, so I’m practically ahead of things already. Happy New…

After long silence
Vincent finished first grade. Georgia, now nearly 15 months old, walks, dances, climbs, and orates in a cadence and vocabulary unique to her very self.

But here I am, and my…

Days go by
I made bread. I made butter. I made pumpkin butter. And cookies. And muffins. And oatmeal shortbread. And countless breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. I made pickles, and ketchup. And many other things besides. And I wrote a poem. I keep promising a fuller post and keep not getting to it. There’s just not enough time…

The Poetry of eCards
I wish I could say that my shameful neglect of the blog is due to a fabulous vacation or at least lots of trips to the beach, but no luck. Summer’s whipping by so fast it’s leaving third-degree burns, but so far I’ve done nothing and gone nowhere. Having both boys at home, plus Georgia,…
