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. So stiff she could barely make it out the door, to find a sled, and carry a bucket around knocking down icicles. ButContinue reading “Duendesday!”
All the Tuesday Happenings
It has been a very busy week – more storms (our first Nor’Easter of the year – 6″ of wet heavy snow that has now turned to dense ice) with a lot of power loss. 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”
Duendesday Wednesday!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} I will not be surprised when this child grows up to be either a meteorologist or a conservationist or even a National Geographic photographer – mostly because she has no care of weather. She loves all weather – she loves to be in it, to immerseContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday!”

Monday’s Musing
RainBY KAZIM ALI With thick strokes of ink the sky fills with rainPretending to run for cover but secretly praying for more rain. Over the echo of the water, I hear a voice saying my name.No one in the city moves under the quick sightless rain. The pages of my notebook soak, then curl. I’veContinue reading “Monday’s Musing”
Tuesday Happenings
Bread has its own agency, apparently so does our proofing refrigerator, and the weather, and the sourdough starter, and the baker. There are probably more I’m neglecting but the reality is that there are many variables and much of the time, they all co-ordinate into one big happy explosion of delicious baked goods. Sometimes, however,Continue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
