Happy Easter!!

And….yeah, so, somehow I, the chocoholic, planned a JUICE FAST with Paul for the week-end of chocolate bunnies.  I am stupid.  It was because Paul had some time off from work and it seemed like that would be a good time to do it and I totally forgot about the [...]

The colors are changing.  The forest is all over gold and sparkles.  Time for walk!

Henry mentally prepares himself for the coming exertion:

Barking at squirrels!

Those squirrels won’t barks at themselves, you know!

The back edge of our property is bounded by a large creek, full [...]

Hidden eggs have been found, re-hidden, found again.  Chocolate has been unwrapped from its little foil wrappers and eaten and then the little foil wrappers have been painstakingly smoothed out for nonspecific future projects by Sophie (?!).  Board games are currently being played, cutthroat Go Fish, high [...]

We went to my grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving, over the river and through the woods—we used to sing that song when I was a kid and we were making the trip to her place.  It’s the small town my father and two aunts grew up in, birth to high-velocity escape post high school.  None of [...]

The weather is fantastic this week, 70 degrees and fall colors everywhere.  The last few weeks have been cold, cold—I’m not ready for cold!  But not today, today it is perfect.

But I know we’re in the last days of warmth, over half the trees have lost their leaves.  But still, there is so much [...]

leaf monsters

Beware.  Something lurks in this leaf pile.

You can’t see it?  Look closer.

And what is this?  An altogether different type of leaf monster, not a Lurker, but a Churner….

Every year our country neighbors do the most amazing, hilarious, shocking Halloween decorations ever, and I swear, every year I think, how can they possible do anything new, they’ve done everything, but they always pull it off, proving that I have a stunning lack of imagination for a fantasy novelist, I mean, for gods sake, [...]

late summer forest walk with special guest star appearance

On September 5, 2011 · 1 Comment · In adventures, kiddo life

Time for a walk through the forest, brought to you by the semi-annual downloading of pictures from my camera’s ginormous memory card.  These walk photos were taken a couple of weeks ago, a late August summer walk, no goats this time just Sophie and Henry, me and my camera.

I love going back and seeing [...]
