Our third visit (previously) So we’re there on the first day trees are for sale and they only have one variety in-stock—Fraser firs—same kind we had last year, but I can’t remember for sure. I google the variety on the spot to check and see if they’re any good. Search results prove favorable. Back when…

I don’t believe this is lens distortion throwing curves, it’s just that our blinds are wonky There are mere moments while gray light spreads across the morning sky, yet hasn’t enough power to shut off the sensor in the electric holiday candle. We placed these decorations in the windows this weekend. There is no ecological…

Using Elmo to bribe the boy to look at the camera After OSU’s win (yay), I went to several box stores and the mall to torture myself trying to find something that only exists in my imagination: sea-foam colored ornaments for our Christmas tree.

This season In other news, the weekend was quiet and cool.

As the sun sets and the light is golden I’m still processing this week. On the backside, catching up and welcoming the return of creative energy. Lots of work to be done. This photo? My mom’s house—a retreat where I can always count on an ever changing exhibit of inspiration, and very likely a solid…

at our home Pardon the photo, it’s from my little point and shoot and I wasn’t prepared and they were walking too fast, and and and… The good part is that this family were the first trick or treaters at our house. The kids were all dressed up, the mom liked our yard sign, and…
