If you have noticed my absence in the past week, I am sorry for having left without leaving much of a hint as to where I was going or when I would return. If you had been keeping up with my photo journal, you would have seen that we were gradually moving all of our [...]
I told you I would keep you updated on how things are going with our new Boston Terrier puppy, so here’s the latest picture. *sigh* I am in grave danger of losing entire days gazing at his photo.
Four Weeks Old
According to the breeder, he weighs about a pound now and is being [...]
One Week Old
As some of you may remember, we had a dog named Maggie who was very old and tired. We adopted her from a local shelter after being told that she was about two years old and was just overweight. Unfortunately, Maggie turned out to be closer to twelve years old [...]
A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards. ~A.A. Milne
As some of you may already know, I grew up with a very English, maternal grandmother and, therefore, a mother who was quite enamored with her heritage. Whenever I became ill, I was cautiously [...]
If anyone has been wondering where I have been off to for the past week and a half, I am here to tell you. We have been having our kitchen redone. This has been a project that has been developing over quite some time, but I was totally unprepared for just how displaced I would [...]

It would be so much easier if I could find a poem that could tell you of the ache that is in my heart, but that would be too easy. It wouldn’t be creating something that was mine to turn over and over in the sunlight and in the rain. Such things as this may [...]
I thought that, since Pipsqueak so kindly shared a picture of her beautiful Smudge, I would share a picture of our beloved Sam. And, yes, his eyes came that way. We really don’t know exactly what he looked like when he was born because we adopted him from a shelter when he was two months [...]
For those of you who have asked about my progress in reading the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy, I must confess that I haven’t gotten past the first chapter. I promised our preacher I wouldn’t start reading the books without him and it seems as though we just can’t find a convenient time to start reading simultaneously. [...]
We just had a thunderstorm pass over here and there is a mist rising up from the ground. It is evening. Someone is grilling. I can smell the sweet smell of cooking meat mingled with the smell of damp moss and tree bark. I’m alone at home. Will has taken the girls to a baseball [...]
