Simple pleasures 20 Apr 2012 | 08:39 am
Sometimes I build things up to be really more complicated than they should be. I need to concentrate on the simple things and learn from the small people: getting completely absorbed in a Scooby Doo ...
Morning 23 Jun 2010 | 01:37 am
This is the view I currently get as I go downstairs in the morning. It brings light to my heart. I love peonies and their endless tissue-papery layers.
Precocious eating 6 Jun 2010 | 03:04 am
Some days I despair of my sons' eating habits. The older two are like Jack Sprat and his wife and enjoy completely different bits of each meal. And then the youngest manages to like all the things tha...
