It’s been a while since I ran anywhere for a reason other than fire or emergency (like the man who was puking his guts up in the library… ran to get him a trash can). I don’t actually remember the last time I just got up and went for a run, which kind of makes…

And a Rabbit in a Plum Tree
Okay, so I wasn’t sure what to name this post. And the only tree cleverness I could think of is from a Christmas song. Oh well. I assume you’ll forgive me. The story here is that we have some pretty trees along the edge of the forest at our house. Until recently, I didn’t think…
Pulling Things Together
I was supposed to start painting the living room on my day off yesterday. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I just couldn’t. We’ve been ripping out walls and refinishing cabinets and painting walls and adding trim, and I just needed a day where I did nothing but clean up the mess. Sure,…

Strawberry Saturday
Scott is smart about things like growing seasons, so he proposed yesterday that we make a quick trip down the road for some “pick-your-own” strawberries. It turns out that picking your own food is really fun, especially if you just finished a long day at a very indoor type of job. Also, other people are…
