					<description><![CDATA[Apparently the last time I stopped by was when I was starting to write my Christmas cards&#8230;in the spring. It&#8217;s been a minute. I&#8217;m a bit embarrassed to say that I still haven&#8217;t finished them, although I haven&#8217;t given up. &#8230; <a href="http://www.kkish.net/2025/08/16/christmas-gifts-returned-or-christmas-in-august/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I started writing my Christmas cards yesterday. I&#8217;m not working ahead of schedule. Not supremely organized. Just the opposite. I have finally started writing my 2024 cards. It&#8217;s not the first time I&#8217;ve been late, and probably not the first &#8230; <a href="http://www.kkish.net/2025/03/23/christmas-in-march/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Spring&#8217;s first crocus arrived yesterday in the back yard, a bright purple beauty that, astonishingly, is still around today. Astonishing because our wild rabbits seem to love crocuses (I know, croci, but really?!), and the purple ones are their favorites. &#8230; <a href="http://www.kkish.net/2025/03/22/leaps-of-faith-acts-of-hope/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
