I am so happy I married someone who knows his way around a computer. Currently he is sitting to my right designing, programming and all-around creating a new website for me. Don’t worry – I’m not doing a complete overhaul of the blog – again. This time we’re working on a photography site – a [...]
I arranged for a babysitter before I knew what the evening agenda was. My husband knew and that was all that mattered. The night before our less-than-ordinary evening away, Gabe handed me a glassine envelope thick with papers. In years past these strange and lovely envelopes have included cards for no reason other than to [...]
I’d like to cash in my “Get out of Posting Free” card. Those exist right? It’s not that I don’t have things to share. Because I do. And it’s not that I don’t want to spend time with you kind people. Because I do. It’s just that I’m so tired and I’ve sat here for [...]

I have recently become aware of a sub-culture that exists in the ever growing world of food lovers.

For the mushroom hunter, finding the perfect specimen is [...]
These early Fall days scream for a visit to an apple orchard. With the air as crisp as a Zestar and the slight warmth of the fleeting summer sun comforting like a mug of fresh pressed Honeycrisp cider. Last week we made our first visit of the season to Bellewood Acres located just north of [...]
Sometimes I take pictures with the intention of turning them into paintings. Sadly I haven’t produced a painting since my two little boys arrived but when I do get around to cracking the seal on the ol’ tubes of acrylic I have a mighty supply of subjects to chose from. My love for apricots began [...]
Before we get to our regularly (or not-so regularly) scheduled blog post I have a few announcements and/or links that I thought you may enjoy. First of all in case you missed it and care to read it, the Times Online recently posted an interview with yours truly. Everything you ever wanted to know about [...]
