Posted in Uncategorized on May 31, 2006 | 6 Comments »
some sort of detestable mean thing ate my strawberries!!!! I don’t like cats, so maybe it was a cat. Dave insists it must have been a dog (he’s not so much a dog fan.) Any ideas on how to protect my prized strawberries in the future? I showed Ellen and she frowned and shook her [...]

this was a weekend of yard work. exciting, yard altering yard work. you see the huge, completely out of control hedge – that’s it about half as big as it was last weekend. that’s as tall as it’s gotten but i’ve been doing a lot of trimming and thinning over the week getting ready for [...]

today i took the kids to sur la table and got a new pan – a mini bundt pan. i felt like a bit of a traitor for buying something non demarle, but they don’t make this kind. i’ve been wanting to make little chocolate bundt with a peppermint icing. i love making little mini [...]

isaiah has entered crafting world. he made his very first picture tonight – almost completely by himself – i just helped with the glue.
and ellen was proud of hers, of course.
and finally isaiah was utterly fascinated by my tree, cloud and house-turned-tent sticker collage. he wouldn’t give it up once i let him see it.
