Uncharted
As we drove back downtown after getting our teen-vampire-drama movie fix, my friend M asked me, “What do you want to do when the kids go to school?” I think I spent a good five minutes dancing around the question before finally admitting that I don’t know. This is the type of question that really throws me for a loop. Right now as I write, my toddler old is squatting and grunting in front of me as he takes his…

Snapshots of the fall/winter garden
Looking outside the window, the world is currently frosted. I haven’t tended much to the fall and winter garden.
