hump day nuggets: craftiness with eggs and such.

March 31, 2010
hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last week Huh. I wonder if I might be that ridiculous mom who hands out raisins on Halloween and stuffs Easter eggs with spinach. I promise I WON’T do those things because I am married to a man who values chocolate like many value sports cars and also I remember the taste of all that candy on those special occasions when I was a kid and … Continue reading hump day nuggets: craftiness with eggs and such. →

moving earth

March 29, 2010
Well I came home to tulips doing sun salutes. The snow has melted, even in the always-shady areas of my backyard. The rich compost is turned and the rain barrels are open, ready to receive water. Barely visible, my spinach and lettuce will put meaty, sun-warmed salad on my dinner table in a few weeks. I also came home to my giant package of High Mowing Organic Seeds! Oh the beautiful little promise rattles. Margot immediately grabbed the Matt’s Wild … Continue reading moving earth →

hump day nuggets: Red Lodge

March 24, 2010
hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last week The girls and I had a great drive across this great state last week. I am often in such a hurry to get there to see my family that I don’t absorb how surreally and serenely gorgeous the trip is. This time was different. No hurry, just a journey. I could probably drive this very stretch of I-90 blindfolded. It’s all valleys that open … Continue reading hump day nuggets: Red Lodge →

marriage with two kids is a lot like dating long distance

March 22, 2010
I made a big, take-my-breath-away purchase last week. My fingers are bouncing about the tidy white squares right this minute as the sun rises over the east bench in Red Lodge. As you may guess, I am on the computer a fair bit. I am not much for tv but give me an internet connection and I can dork out for hours. The computer is also the medium for all of my work. We have a big, beautiful iMac that … Continue reading marriage with two kids is a lot like dating long distance →
