We took a little garden tour last night so I could see how all of the veggies are doing. The veggie garden is pretty solidly in Scottland (not to be confused with Scotland, which is a long way away), so I don’t get out there every day. It was pretty fun as far as at-home…
Finally Friday
I know it’s been a short work week for me so far (fifth work day coming up tomorrow), but it feels like it’s been a long work week. I’m sure you understand. As a result of said week, I’m daydreaming my way through lunch pretty seriously. One of my two excellent college roommates and I…
Blueberries of Happiness
This morning was rough. We got in late from our roadtrip adventure (12:30-ish), and neither of us was exactly excited about getting out of bed this morning. Two nights of too little sleep does not a perky morning make. Scott had appointments to keep and errands to run, and I had to get to work…

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…
Cloudy With a Chance of Hiking
This weekend was strange. That’s the only way I can explain it. There were these moments of pure relaxation and summer, and there was some serious family sadness.

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…
Small, but valuable.
