Ewww! Worms! Or... not?
Stone seats carved to look like fish, bronze lobster statues green with age, and the delicate smell of grass and brightly colored flowers. Such are the environs in one of the green spaces in Boston’s Seaport. As I lounged on one of the stone fishes reading and musing a few days ago, the smell of rich soil reminded me of my garden back in Maine with raspberries, blueberries, peppers, tomatoes, and lettuces came to mind....

Good suggestion! Our little girl certainly does blend into the shadows, when she wants to. :)
Chloe the Kitten and the Swift
This is the video we shot to send to her grandparents. :) And this is why... ... this is necessary. I'm so glad I finally got one! It's made knitting life soooooooo much easier! Speaking of which, the tilting tables Gabe's folks, Chloe's grandparents, gave us for a home warming gifts last ...

Truth-Telling
So, it's time for a little more honesty and to lay some things out on the table. Blogging has been slowed of late, as briefly mentioned last post, because I've been struggling with my depression and related symptoms the last 4-6 weeks. Here's the rest of the story. As some of my long-time readers may or may not know, I've been in and out of psychotherapy since childhood for sexual and physical abuse and through... Continue reading

Well, Gabe made some and he's a neophyte in the kitchen and it was fantastic, if that is any encouragement to you! Good luck and let me know how it turns out. :)

Has it really been over a month since the last post? Sheesh. Guess I've been busy. :) In the last month, I've been working at a local English language school, knitting, reading, working hard with the trainer, and watching Gabe take a greater role in the kitchen. He made us guacamole just a few...
Seriously, there must be something in the air. I've even gone through my books!! Eep! :)
Knitting News: Cables, Lace, and Dreams.
reversible cable and lace scarf in frog tree alpaca The knitting basket has finally won out as a priority in my evening hours. I pulled out the reversible cable and lace scarf and put some inches on it. I'm nearly done the second of three skeins and it is a little over four feet long and abo...

Hi, Serene! It's a shame you haven't had guacamole! Now that I've had it, I want to share it with everyone! I hope you find some on your trip. If not, let me know. I'll see if I can send you some without it going bad.

Thanks, Liz! The guac didn't last very long. :)

It truly is, Erin! It's so nice to be out here spending time with my friend's two adorable kitties and running along the coast. =) I live a life full of blessings.
Beautiful Marblehead = Scenic Runs
The point sticking out to the far right was hollowed out during WWII and used to house nuclear missiles! Now it's a park. I love having good friends with kitties in Marblehead. When they travel, I come over and stay with the kitties and enjoy the ocean view from the living room. Thanks, Alis...

Have you found the cookbook yet, Erin? I'm loving it! I can't wait to share more of my cooking adventures!
Indian Cooking: Spicy Almonds, "Bhone Badaam"
I've wanted to learn Indian cuisine since Gabe and I first moved into Chez Park Lane and I've finally picked up the books necessary at Brookline Public Library. Indian cooking, from my experience dining out and from the few conversations I've had about it, has intrigued me with its extensive glu...

Oh, so beautiful! I really need to learn to sew, again.
i sewed something
Finally, Miss A got a new spring dress! Little girl dresses are so satisfying, aren't they? I went back to my chic chic dress pattern (I was on a role with these in the fall). As usual, I modified it quite a bit - scooped out the neckline, changed the sleeves, and added a ruffle, along wit...
I'll have to follow up on those fabric projects - they look intriguing! What lovely photos of a lovely day. =)
ten on ten :: april 2011
It's 10 on ten time again. I love when the 10th falls on a weekend. This 10th of the month was particularly nice, as we had absolutely nothing to do. No ball games, no practices, no nothing. It has been FOREVER since we had a weekend day such as this. As usual, my ten take a bit longer than 1...
