Overlapping Seasons
It is November 1. Leaves have finally begun to change color on the trees, and to settle on the still-bright green lawn. And that still-green lawn now has wild strawberries growing in it. The tomato plants have sprung back to life, the nasturtiums continue to bloom, the cosmos to replicate...
I think sometimes I write good. ;-)
Oh, the years I spent telling my kids things are good, and done well. Anyway. It's NaNoWriMo review time, and this year's story is dovetailing with 2014, so I'm going over that. I like this portion an awful lot, so I'm sharing it with you. It's long; will take 10-15...
Regarding Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
You can get proper breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches in Indiana, Missouri, and Iowa. You might think they're okay elsewhere, but they are not. An exception might be if someone from one of those places brought their cook and pigs to some other place, but not really. We never got a...
20 years, fickle April, birthday countdown thoughts, and Earth Day
This isn't going to be the post I had in mind when I began thinking it over yesterday. My heart is a bit overfull just now.   Two things to think over which spawn many other channels of thought. First, I will turn 51 in six weeks. I like being...

You might have seen me lamenting the imminent closure of Hancock Fabrics. It sounds funny, I suppose, but I just love that store and will miss it a whole lot. Like Border’s, but maybe more. I’ve lived near a good one for nearly five years, but have visited it at...
30 in 31: day twenty-one: sticks and stones
I skipped yesterday instead of Friday. Whee. Here are my favorite pictures of my favorite theme. Ish.
30 in 31: day nineteen: excerpts from a paper life
I ran across my Moleskine notebook yesterday. It was given to me ten years ago and I used it to save memories of special days. It's only about 2/3 full. Never mind about that. Here are a few excerpts from it.
30 in 31: day fifteen: cute stuff I made this year
A representative sampling of stuff I made this year. This is the first official quilt I finished with the sewing machine. I made it for the new baby of my favorite internet writer/a favorite person in general, so I felt good that it turned out pretty well. A cute bag...
