Dusting for Exercise

Monday, September 1, 2008

Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again. – Dorothy Day

I feel as if I have disappeared again.
This was the transitional week, the time I had “free” to get ready, to get things done.
School starts tomorrow [...]

Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. – Seneca
Colin and I went to Oconomowoc, Wisconsin this weekend for our friend, Andy’s, ordination. Andy is married to Aimee, my best friend. Aimee and I were maid/matrons of honor at each other’s weddings.
After years in London and our life now on the hectic East Coast, it [...]

The Company of Songbirds

Friday, August 15, 2008

Something in the new birdseed has songbirds clamoring at the brass cage around my feeder.
Wild songbirds– sparrows, chickadees, blackbirds, nuthatches, purple finches, tufted titmice, cardinals– they have come to visit me at my back window.
When my family was here these past weeks, it made me tired. Feet on the floors above, the water running always, [...]

London Blue Sky

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Occasionally, when I am just drifting off to sleep, or while I am in savansa at yoga class, I have a sudden flash from my memory. It’s a sensory flash, like a living photograph.

Lately those flashes have been of London, of my home around Maida Vale,
and of the color of the sky and the light [...]

Post Script from Elizabethtown

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

There are two green metal boxes in my attic. I am not sure, but I think there were once used for gun cartridges. They are Canadian military issue. They don’t hold anything deadly anymore. Just old love letters, none of mine.
It’s early, grey morning. I’ve made tea, and now it’s cooling on the counter. I [...]

The Madness of Queen Betty

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Since Colin and I returned from London, we are able to indulge in having animals again. Our first feline acquisition is BETTY (seen here), who is completely bonkers.
Betty is a rescue kitty, who was feral for the first 10 weeks of her life. But that doesn’t explain her madness. Nothing could explain her penchant (obsession, [...]

Good Low-Flow Showerhead… Bricor

Saturday, January 5, 2008

Or… How Consumer Reviews Can Help Save the Planet
In a simple twist of fate, it seems my desire to be green will inevitably test my patience– especially as a homeowner.
This time, it’s waterflow, most specific, our showerhead. Too much water is being wasted whilst I shave my legs and Colin does whatever he does [...]

Iowa in 2008: The Future is Already Here

Thursday, January 3, 2008

All my friends at The Warrington in England who didn’t know what or where Iowa is (”sounds familiar though”) are getting their quat-annual reminder today as my fair home state makes front page news internationally, including three front pages in the Guardian, The Independent and below the fold featuring McCain in the Tory Times.
As my [...]
