I know I have not been verygood this year, I know. But I haven’t been unusually wicked, either. Dear Santa, as you know, my grandmother passed away this year and this will be the first year in my mother’s life without Christmas At The Farm. My sister is coming home for Christmas and I would… Continue reading Dear Santa…

Busy
It’s been a busy week. This time last Thursday we were bundling Hambet into the car and heading off to the emergency room — he was sliding off his booster chair and smacked his head against the edge of the counter (very close to where he hit his head back in January). This time it… Continue reading Busy
Peony’s things to do list
1. Pray for the souls of the faithful departed. 2. Pray for Pansy and a quick, safe delivery. 3. Mop the kitchen floor. 4. Keep a doctor’s appointment. 5. Vote. (I even researched the judges and school board members!) 6. Plan activity for Hambet’s play group tomorrow. 7. Cook dinner. (Chicken of some kind.) UPDATE:… Continue reading Peony’s things to do list
Sorry for the slow blogging….

I haven’t been this sleepy since Hambet was a wee nursling. Speaking of “real jobs,” I wonder what… Continue reading Sorry for the slow blogging….
Weird TV science
As I was typing, I saw an NBC breaking news report out of the corner of my eye. My first thought was, why do they make the turning globe all red? It looks like the planet Jupiter? Well, anyway, Brokaw was interrupting to announce that Mount St Helens is starting to vent some steam. Hambet… Continue reading Weird TV science
The moooooooooooon
Alicia has this neat widget on her blog — a little picture of the moon’s current phase. (At this writing it is waxing gibbous.) I thought of it last night. We were out running errands and it was getting dark. Hambet usually isn’t out that late, and when he caught sight of the moon he… Continue reading The moooooooooooon

…just household stuff and scrapbooking stuff and trips-to-the-dentist stuff (Hambet had a good checkup, and I’m realizing that I don’t remember the last time I was at the dentist… wonder if I can look it up in the archives….) Today I assembled a cheap bookcase to handle our book overflow. It went pretty well but… Continue reading busy…
Trimmers and tweens
Yesterday I taught an album-making class for five young ladies (aged 8 – 12 ) and one mom (I didn’t ask her how old she was.) What a blast! The girls did such a great job. They loved using the little trimmers (wee paper cutters) to crop their pictures and they quickly got the knack… Continue reading Trimmers and tweens
