The weather has been just gorgeous around these parts. We spent most the weekend outside. Yesterday we canoed up and down the river and today we spent a few hours hiking in the woods. This is such a great time...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/ZfAE/~4/AvBHWbU_L14" height="1" width="1"/>

What I love most about these recent days are the sunrises. In general, these Texas skies have been breathtaking at all times of the day. But, the sunrises, oh my, stop me in my tired and frantic tracks. They are...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/ZfAE/~4/H_Nc0AVN8YE" height="1" width="1"/>

Believe it or not, I intended on posting about the funky case of blahs I've had over the last couple of days. You know how it is: feeling tired, uninspired, agitated - just plain ole grumpy.

What will sustain us through the winter? Where did last years lessons go?

Two years ago, I began piecing a quilt for Beatrix. She was just a wee babe. I wanted to make something useful for her, that she could keep, and pass down to her own children one day. I consider myself...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/ZfAE/~4/s0oxYSmwbbc" height="1" width="1"/>

I don't have much to share right now, but I thought I'd pop in just to say hi! Tomorrow is Friday and I'm happy about that. We had a sweet week at school, but I'm looking forward to not rushing...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/ZfAE/~4/A5mQ4HDyhT4" height="1" width="1"/>

Nothing triggers my nostalgia for sweet Bea's days of being little more than fondling through her clothes. It seems sort of shallow, but it's the absolute truth. A few days ago while Bea was napping and the house was quiet,...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/ZfAE/~4/9Dveraqbl9E" height="1" width="1"/>

Well, it was a doozy of a week. First, Byron, then Bea, came down with a nasty stomach bug. I've been sanitizing and washing and sanitizing and washing all while hoping that I wouldn't go down with them.

I can't recall (and I'm too lazy to dig through archives) just how much I've shared with you all about the special relationship between Beatrix and Dolly. Dolly is the doll in our house. In fact, the little floppy and...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/ZfAE/~4/dAaEP0I2GPc" height="1" width="1"/>
