Duendesday Already!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} What keeps this gal’s mind churning when she’s cabined up with us old people? Puzzles, games, and Kiwi crates cover a lot of ground (recently we have a glut of geography ‘Atlas’ boxes; we visited Indonesia the other night, resplendent with a ‘batik’ bag and aContinue reading “Duendesday Already!”
Monday’s Musing
What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness. ~ John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley

Duendesday!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Pre-snow adventures – as usual, out in the weather, underdressed though after half a foot of fluffy wet snow, she was head-to-toe bundled.

I know we are lucky and have some systems in place – generator (so the basement doesn’t flood and powersContinue reading “All the Tuesday Happenings”

She loves all weather – she loves to be in it, to immerseContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday!”

You will remember those gifts from the earth:indelible scents, gold clay,weeds in the thicket and crazy roots,magical thorns like swords. You’ll remember the bouquet you picked,shadows and silent water,bouquetContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
Duendesday!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Duende was very excited to see some active but light snowing when she woke up today. Just a coating, mostly in the crevices and paths of the grass but a few icicles to really make her happy. She’s playing Parcheesi with Daddy right now but thenContinue reading “Duendesday!”
Haps for Tuesday
I spend a lot of time at my desk lately – between teaching, tutoring, and writing my own dissertation my desk is my anchor. Therefore, I spend a lot of time looking out my window at the goings-on in the world. I don’t see much of the world, per se, but I can see theContinue reading “Haps for Tuesday”
