We are pretty excited about Advent around here. Not only is this the first year we have a kidlet old enough to share some advent traditions with, but this is the first year in four that Advent hasn’t been shared with the End of Semester Press. It is hard to get your Liturgical New Year … More All my Advent Thoughts
Uf, I feel terribly behind on blogging. On this site I don’t feel like a two week absence is really worth comment, but yesterday I listed out all the posts I have been wanting to write, and I really am terribly behind. There’s gluten experiments to update you on, veggies to report, advent fun… even … More {pretty, funny, happy, real} – year’s end edition
{pretty} So I set out to try PFHR as a way to talk about something other than stuff I knit. But this week I couldn’t help but remember that I still haven’t shown you Carina’s wedding shawl. And there’s so much to this story of pretty than just what I knit. And if you stick it … More {pretty, funny, happy, real} wedding edition
Zing Zang Zoom, I finished two things. Two things that were so near completion when I last showed them to you, that I will compress their Finishing Announcement into one big post with lots of pictures, and more words than is either just or fitting. Week 1 of potty training, when it wasn’t about wiping pee … More Done and Done and Eek!
Recently, I have expressed, both privately to myself, and here on the internet, and out loud with my vocal chords to humans in my presence, a desire to make my writing here on The Blog more theological. More reflective. This hasn’t really happened, despite my having more thoughtful writing ideas than I can remember (and … More {pretty, happy, funny, real}: poop edition
Today, as part of my sabbath rest, I stood in a sunbeam doing sorcery. Sunbeams are in short supply around here. November has kicked October out with a series of intensely overcast days, sometimes so dark that our alley streetlight is on at noon. The sort of days when when I go outside, knowing that soaking … More Magic in a Drop of Sun
We found out a week ago that we are having another little girl. (“Patricia” being her gender-ified in-utero nickname, NOT her real name. Haven’t decided on that yet.) We’re very pleased. We are sure boys are fun and stuff, but we’d gladly raise a houseful of girls. And I just realized… now I get to … More “Patricia”
Exhaustion has hit a new level this week. We had busy week followed by a weekend away (having little kids, there’s no reason to bother calling it a “vacation”) followed by another busy week ending with giving a sermon. Maybe baby’s having a growth spurt too, since I fall asleep at 9, wake up at … More In Which I Try Not to Whine
We’ve been on vacation in the woods for about the last twenty-four hours. The day’s big event was a morning hike on top of a mountain. The light was so startlingly bright and stark, I couldn’t help taking pictures. I would call it poignant, but it wasn’t melancholic. It just was what it … More Stark Light
It is really October. As so often happens, this month seems to have flown by, yet when I look at some of the foods at the beginning of this post, I can’t believe we had them only a month ago. This also means, there’s only a month left in our CSA! Our last delivery comes … More CSA-ccountability, Month #6 – September/October
