Lately

In no particular order...

back for mud season

blizzard wizards!

A long series of sick days ends only to reveal...

a visit from a snow leopard! Or at least a really snowy valentines day that encourages every school in Vermont (and the one I work for in New Hampshire) to close. We stayed home with our cats and canned goods. We tried to brave the elements in the name of snowpants acquisition but I turned back after falling into a snow bank and Ryan only lasted a little longer than I did.



Today, of course, most things are back to normal. The snow blowers hum outside and I'm getting ready to go to work.

all winter, all the time

dear friends,

it's best not to make excuses for the long absense and just get down to brass tacks. it's been a fruitful new year. i've traveled to denmark to see my family, eaten strange and exotic cheeses and discovered many new england past times that had previously been thought of as mythical.

now, for the promised brass tacks.

more very soon. i finally got a digital camera so the photoblog has potential to explode!

Ryan told me one night that he had heard of beard growing contests in Turkey and I thought he said "beard grooming contests" which there might also be. I think we should suggest that McNiell's, the town microbrewery/our favorite bar host such an event in the middle of winter to help ward off cabin fever. I would style Ryan's beard and take top prize...


Houses on the hill above the cotton mill parking lot. We went to explore the huge building and saw people practicing in the trapeze gym on the third floor.


The leaf scarf is done! I think I want to make another in a less fuzzy/plushy yarn.

Holla pumpkintime! Virginia gave us the nicest little pumpkin. It has already become part of pumpkin pastries and will also be in the thanksgiving pumpkin pie.

Sorry for the very sporatic posting--I still don't have a camera and I'm working on not getting myself into a reading coma right after dinner every night.

Today I start volunteering at the public library (woot!) and am going to talk to the people at The In-sight Photography Project about co-teaching one of the upcoming classes for kids.
