We went out on a little family shopping trip to the mall today. New sneakers for Wes and Charlie. A young guy working in the hip sneaker shop told me he liked my sneakers. He said he hadn't seen any like those. I'm pretty sure unique is cool in the world of sneakers. Afterwards, I … Continue reading Leading lady
There is something about a beautiful spring day, isn't there? It feels like possibility. Wes had baseball practice this morning so I took the opportunity to visit the library. I got to say hi to my friend, who just happens to be our town's youth services librarian. And then I walked down into town for … Continue reading Spring day.
Yesterday Christian had four cords of wood delivered to the house. We have multiple giant piles of wood on our lawn. He's been prepping the shed area where we pile store it. The old wood has to come out to make room for the new wood to dry out. We didn't burn as much wood … Continue reading Downs and Ups
Christian has been watching The Great Pottery Throwdown. I think he's finishing up season 2 now. He is very committed to this show. Tonight he said he'd like to make a coffee mug, but he doesn't drink coffee. In fact, he very rarely drinks any kind of hot drink. I've watched a few of the … Continue reading Beauty

The weather has been really nice this week. We need rain but we are still enjoying the sun. This afternoon I took my journal and my chair and moved it up behind the pool, to the edge of the woods. I sat and let the sun hit my face. Last spring we had some concrete … Continue reading Perspective
I have to be honest here, as I always am. I am really thinking about what I'm doing here writing this blog on a daily basis. Am I sharing too much? Why am I doing this? Is it good for me to write about things while they're happening, or do I need some time and … Continue reading Questioning
It was the last day of the Easter Bunny Adventure at the farm so Christian and I went out at 7am and helped play easter bunny and hide some eggs in the trees. It was about 25 degrees. Brrr. Grocery store and cleaning this morning. I picked up a Polish babka from the store. And … Continue reading Wild
I could not focus for the life of me today. And I'm sitting here wondering what I should do about that. As part of my Artist's Way exercises, I've been writing affirmations and prayers and encouraging words. So, I thought I just might share a bit of that. Maybe this is the deal we've made.I … Continue reading The Deal
