Ramblings
A whole month elapsed between the time I took the first photo of beechdrops (9/26) and the last photo (10/28). If you’d asked me how long it was, I would have said maybe two weeks. I only seem to understand … Continue reading
Five Random Thoughts
I am resigned to the reality of Daylight Saving Time, but I continue to be resentful of it. Now that the kids are older, the time change doesn’t wreak havoc in our lives the way it once did, but it’s … Continue reading
Day 298: What January’s Good For
I don’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions, because I don’t think that January 1st is a good day to start new habits. Like most people I am naturally drawn to beginnings of time frames for making changes in my … Continue reading
Day 217: Rescheduled
Last October I scheduled my annual physical for this day. I had forgotten all about until I checked my voicemail last night and got the reminder. I thought about keeping the appointment, but I wasn’t in the mood for that … Continue reading

Anniversaries
There is nothing like a big, evenly-divisible-by-five anniversary to make one realize the passage of time. I have several special anniversaries this year. The biggest are these: 25 years since my high-school graduation year (had I actually graduated) 20 years … Continue reading
Killing Time
I have 90 files pending upload to a website that does photo books, so I have nothing better to do right now than explain why I haven’t posted much lately. It’s because I’m working on photo books. First, I started … Continue reading
Good-Bye, October
It was a strange October. I’m not sure I will miss it. I’m going to say why, and then “Good-bye!” My husband and I had our third wedding anniversary, though we didn’t do anything special to celebrate. We know that … Continue reading
