From my Facebook wall: “Today I ate so many raspberries, I swear I’m going to crap jam.” *
Oh yay. More fruit. Raspberries are in season, so I schlepped the boys out to the country again, where we picked about five pounds of...

So everyone’s talking about their CSAs, and their pea shoots and their garlic scapes and their new lettuce and their precious teeny-tiny radishes, and you know what?
All y’all can shut it.
That’s right, you with the beets: Shut.It.

I’m so sneaky.
Honestly, anyone who believes a recipe for chocolate chip cookies only makes two dozen is...

I wasn’t planning to write two posts today, but something unexpected just happened: I sent my parents a link to my blog. To make their perusal easier, I’m going to give a handy-dandy list of entries that they should not read. Ready?

Beyond Friday’s library defilement, the weekend was free of inner turmoil. We cleaned, had a visit from my parents, and bought a new storm door. The house is still coming together in the tiniest steps imaginable.
This week I have to persuade the husband to finish the door, hang house numbers and finish...

Yesterday I published Same song, two verses, my story about two May 19 occurrences in my life. Six years to the day after my first date with my husband, I was in labor with our first child. Pretty nifty, right? What would really be great now is a followup story: May 20 of 1994...
