At night, they sleep in star fields, by day they run with wildflowers. A gift from my sister. If you are remembering anyone today, I’d love to know about it, to hear your story. You can leave a link or just share in the comments. As you can see, I am 10 and 5 [...]

Another round of 7 Quick Takes, hosted by Jennifer! 1. Birth I just got back from a pretty short birth. I can’t share too much, but I will say that the mom shares a name with a Disney character with red hair and a fish tale. My children believe I a birth doula to mer-mommies [...]

About the yard

I just wanted to follow up on this post because it truly is so lovely here with tall trees, green grass and a newly shored up brook on the property. Wildlife in all its forms finds a home here. We arrived home on Sunday and since then have seen two deer, a fox and entire [...]
This first day in December we woke to a light snow
Posted in Christmas, Goodness, Just Post, kindness, thankful on 12/02/2007 | 10 Comments »
Today was cold and windy. A light snow had fallen overnight and was still falling around 9 this morning. The wind was creating a snowing up effect, which charmed the children to no end. The sun made its way over the tree line around 9:30, warming slightly the east facing kitchen and foffice -that’s f(amilyroom)office, [...]
I don’t blog about Thinker often enough, but this makes up for it:
Posted in First Child, girls, Goodness, Matt, Thinker on 11/11/2007 | 22 Comments »
Matt was encouraging our boys to continue to help rake our 40 billion leaves up before the snow falls. The littles ones were toddling around outside finding every single toy filled with water and making sure they sat on it or poured it on each other. Inside, I was changing the sheets on all the [...]

Insert here my loud joyous noises about LP’s planning and placement team meeting. I can’t make any myself because this week, I caught croup from my children. And grown-up croup doesn’t sound like a grown-up barking seal, it sounds like laryngitis, ’cause it is. And, I can’t tell you – or really, I can only [...]
The week taken to bits, grand finale

It is raining. Most of us our sick here. I found Henry asleep on the floor at 5 o’clock last evening. He had gripped several trains in his little hands. This morning at 6 he slept walked into my room, demanding paci, trains and music. He could not go back to sleep until he had [...]

Something happened on the near periphery of my life. Something involving a child I knew just a little, just enough to know her name, to say hi, to wave to her parents in the car, really it was hardly there at all. The small connection tenuous from a time a friend of hers lived under [...]

Almost every year since I became a mother, I’ve seen my own mother on Mother’s Day. It falls on or near Thinker’s birthday, so we have a few great parties in a row. When I was hugely pregnant with Little Puppy, she came for Mother’s Day and threw my kid a birthday party (during which [...]
