I can’t believe that I have let, not one, but over two months pass without so much as a peep on this blog. Lame. If I can’t do better during garden season, then harvest season, and putting things by season, well, I just shake my head at myself.

Sunday is for resting dough
I have this crazy fantasy of being all Ma Ingalls and making all of the food that my family needs and sewing clothes and just being that ultimate mother figure that Karen Grassle evoked as she played Caroline. I am sure that Michael Landon figures in there somewhere in this fantsy, but that is neither… Continue reading Sunday is for resting dough
Sleepy Saturday
Due to a snowstorm, I did not venture outside beyond the car at all today. But for once, I knew that this weather was coming and was able to plan appropriately. So, I did my grocery shopping yesterday and was stocked up for a good weekend of cooking. This morning I made pumpkin waffles. They… Continue reading Sleepy Saturday
getting there
I spent the morning doing a lot of little organizational things. I taped labels to the tops of all of my spices so that I can actually tell what I have. Fancy that! I also alphabetized them so that I could get to them easily. AND created a file that lists the spices that I… Continue reading getting there
Thinking, changing
Here I am on inauguration day thinking about everything but. It feels like I’ve decided not to go to a big party. I woke up last night several times with a racing mind. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how you’re always laying the foundation for something, whether you know it or not. In… Continue reading Thinking, changing
Meeting black authors
Someone from my writing group, uh, the group I was going to when I was writing regularly, linked to a blog, White Readers Meet Black Authors. I checked it out and as a direct result checked out Getting Mother’s Body by Suzan-Lori Parks, on CD. So the CD is in my car and I am… Continue reading Meeting black authors
Vacation
My son’s school, surprise, surprise, is out until January 5. As a result I have taken this time off of work. Vacations are funny. I have to resist the urge to put so much pressure on the vacation that I stop myself from enjoying myself. I found myself leaning in this direction this morning. Here… Continue reading Vacation
Nowhere to hide
I used to write all of the time and as of late, this hasn’t been the case. I’ve been trying to ignore the fact that I haven’t been writing. But, eventually, I have to come face to face with my own…laziness? lack of inspiration? lack of time? something. Today, I opened the file for an… Continue reading Nowhere to hide
Brrrr….
The hardest thing to me about Michigan is the everlasting cold. Right now I am freezing, and I will be freezing approximately until June. This is the time that I need to really pull out my positive thinking. And that is what the Cranberry Splash Sierra Mist is for. This is me trying really hard… Continue reading Brrrr….
Still appreciating
It’s hard to focus on fall, when it certainly feels like winter. I think I need to be thinking chestnuts roasting on an open fire or something like that. I am feeling rather domestic right now and I really like that. This morning I made bagels according to a recipe that I have used a… Continue reading Still appreciating
