It took a while, because apparently I haven’t actually done this in three years, which surprised me, until I remembered, oh yes, pandemic. Pretty sure the last two times the reminder to update my c.v. swung through my e-mail (April 2020 and April 2021), my brain shouted “There are bigger things to worry about right […]
Almost-15-year-olds are also not too old for temporary tattoos and balloons. I wish I’d thought to get bubble wands, because I think they would’ve gone nuts. Next time. There was apparently a brief Nerf gun battle too, which I missed, alas! I would really like to coax all of Kavi’s friends to come hang out

I wasn’t sure if the big kids (Kavi’s friends are in the 14-15-year-old range) would be up for an egg hunt, but they were very enthusiastic. We release the kids staggered by age, so first the under-10, then 12 and under, and then the big kids. I didn’t count on one 7-year-old (first pic) being
Enthusiastic for an Egg Hunt Read More »
I love my big kids, of course, but it made me SO HAPPY to have friends’ little ones come over for the egg hunt. One toddler wore her fanciest purple princess dress, and I just melted.

This year, Kevin is on a big deadline this weekend, and the kids (ages 12 & almost-15) don’t actually believe in the Easter bunny anymore, so I’ve enlisted them in egg-stuffing. We were watching Steven Universe while doing it, and we all had a good time. I have to remember that they’re big now, and

It’s sort of funny how different this fabric looks in my basement as opposed to on the first floor, although I think that’s mostly a photography light artifact — the purple is closer to the actual color than the blue! I could have turned this into a long runner too, like the Unicorn Woods fabric,

I’ve been travelling for work for the last week, just got back, and haven’t had a chance to do much of anything in the garden yet. BUT, I did do some garden-related design, which I thought might interest some of you? Making garden art is a great way to get even MORE delight out of

OPALGA+ has hardy greeters — I love that everyone gets a name tag at the monthly potlucks, everyone gets welcomed, whether it’s your first time, or you’ve been coming for decades. Way to model inclusiveness and welcome — proud to be a member of this lovely group…
I hosted the monthly potluck this evening for our local LGBT+ group, which meant I had about 50-75 people on the first floor, and it was mask-optional, and no one (except Kevin and our kids, who ducked downstairs periodically to get food) chose to wear masks, and it was both wonderful and slightly unnerving. First
