I took a break from writing the blog because there were some changes – I had to make some major changes to my diet (with my Spring Shingles and my already weakened immune system from Lyme, there is always nuanced changes to be made, and sometimes a harsh undertaking for acute issues…): no sugar, noContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Chickpea/Wild Rice/Date Foraged Salad”

Duendesday: Catching Up
{life with a curious and crazy 11 yr old} It’s been awhile since we’ve caught up with little Ms. Duende. She’s had an exciting Summer – visitations from Grammy & Poppi, a birthday with Pear, too (and Nana, Uncle Cameron & Angela, and Dave!), lots of ice cream scoops out in the world, Farmer’s MarketContinue reading “Duendesday: Catching Up”
Happenings on a Tuesday
I don’t know if it was the lack of Winter or the lack of Spring (type weather) that makes this Summer feel like it’s flying – I can’t believe it’s Goldenrod-time already! We do a lot of time-by-seasonal-shifts: there is crocus-time, dragonfly-time (Josh’s favorite as they dip and dive over our rolling little hill afterContinue reading “Happenings on a Tuesday”

Tuesday Happenings

I feel a bit like Punxsutawney Phil, though I have to tell you, I think there may be 6 more weeks of Winter: I’m going backContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Monday’s Muse
“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realizeContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
Duendesday: just another typical wonderful day
{life with a curious and crazy almost 11 yr old} As we get closer to someone’s birthday she’s getting more and more excited. It’s not a big year, necessarily (every year is a big year); it’s not a cycle year (we celebrate 7 yr cycles as major milestones). But it’s still a marvelous birthday! 11,Continue reading “Duendesday: just another typical wonderful day”
Tuesday Happenings
A couple new things, a few old things, mostly bread & roses & pickles: Let’s address the ‘rose issue’ around here. When we moved in, there were new rose bushes lining the driveway in a railroad tie raised bed, and a few cultivated rose bushes here and there. We’re not ‘rose’ people, per se, asContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Musing for Monday
Let Us Go Then ~ Ciaran Carson through the trip wired minefield hand in hand eyes for nothing but ourselves alone undaunted by the traps & pits of wasted land until you stoop & pluck a stem of eyebright
