{life with a curious and crazy 12 yr old} Time was (not so long ago), you couldn’t keep our little gal indoors. Especially at the sight of snow (or rain). We called her a little Siberian baby because she’d leap out into the cold – sledding, snow-forting, making snow faeries, climbing trees, journeying around theContinue reading “Duendesday: Winterings”

Tuesday Happenings
You blink, and it’s Tuesday again. As we settle in to the store/bakery space we turn our attentions back to the homestead. Rearranging, cleaning, and purging all make a good Mid-Winter focus for us. Punxatawny Phil calls me home every year to consider how I want the rest of my Winter to go – itContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Wednesday is the new Tuesday, well, just this week…
Since the multiple snowstorms, our week has been shifted and so shall our reportings and plans.

Monday’s Muse, a life well lived: Stephen Harrod Buhner

To see in every person I meet a human being that is trying as all of us do to live a life based on inadequate information and insufficient capacities. There is not a one of us who has not hurt anotherContinue reading “Monday’s Muse, a life well lived: Stephen Harrod Buhner”
Happenings on a Tuesday: New Beginnings
I’m not much of a New Year person – for me, everyday is a start of a new year and the seasonals mark our time more efficiently. But there is always time for extra celebrations, so a little New Year’s as a thing isn’t the worst (it just isn’t a big thing…we go to bedContinue reading “Happenings on a Tuesday: New Beginnings”

Duendesday: gal of a thousand faces
{life with a curious and crazy 12 yr old} This gal is hilarious. She loves making faces – ugly faces, scary faces, witchy faces, goofy faces, sometimes sweet faces. I had a dream she was wee again, just a little thing – maybe 2 or 3, and was leaning over a porch railing dumping littleContinue reading “Duendesday: gal of a thousand faces”

We got a typeset tray a few years ago and decorated it up as a countdown calendar – painting all our favorite activities and treats inside. D repaints theContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
