  • A case of the Mondays

    Sunday night I had a serious case of the “Mondays”- meaning I was feeling overwhelmed with all I needed/wanted to get done this week. Monday morning, Scotland woke up with a case of the “needies” meaning he wanted to be held constantly. The weather was an oppressive gray, and my list of “to dos” were…

  • Happy Birthday Darling!

    Sunday was Tom’s birthday. It was a busy weekend for us, so it was nice to have the calm and quite of Sunday to celebrate. Our dear friends Steve, Mary and their sweet daughter Lydia came up to join the festivities. I made Cafe Rio and chocolate cake. The meal turned out delicious, and the…

  • 2011 Spring Garden

    As a gardener it’s helpful to document each season so that you can make plans for next year. For that reason, and because my sisters requested, here’s a few quick shots I took of my yard this morning: Both the beds pictured above and below were just planted last year. Man, I love how well…

  • Being a Mom on Monday

    Monday I went to the zoo. It was one of those surreal experiences. There I was pushing a stroller filled with my own flesh and blood amongst a caravan of other moms. Wait what?! I seriously just spent the bulk of Monday morning hanging out at the zoo?! And that was a legitimate, rightful use…

  • A sad story

    I was over joyed about a month ago when I noticed that a robin was building a nest in the lilac right outside my kitchen window. Everyday I delighted in watching her progress. Unfortunately, the joy ends here. Last week I started to worry when an entire day passed without sign of the mother robin,…

  • All in a years time

    This morning I walked by CIM on my way to the Botanical Gardens. Seeing the school immersed in spring splendor brought back memories of a year ago when I graduated from there. I smirked thinking how much my life changed my life since then. Last May I had no idea that in one year’s time…

  • Thoughts

    Tuesday was one of those oppressively gray and dismal rainy days. Scotland and I unconsciously decided that such a day deserved nothing more than a lot of reading and snuggling. At one point during the day as I was rocking Scotland to sleep and listening to “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” I started to dose off,…

  • Rain Rain

    I’ve officially switched from “April Showers bring May flowers.” to “Rain Rain go away, Me and Scotter want to play!” I feel like this spring has been particularly rainy. Today I waited and waited for a chance to go outside with Scotland, but the gray persisted and the rain kept falling. So, we stayed inside,…

  • Scotter

    This isn’t the best picture but it’s a cute subject so I posted it anyway. Here’s Scotland at 9 weeks. This week: Scotland has started playing with toys! He’ll grab at them, smile at them, and even squeal when he sees them. Yesterday he grabbed his little elephant and stuck it in his mouth. Later,…
