This whole past week I have clicked on my Weather app or checked the weather website every day. Several times a day. And then some. We had our family Easter hootenanny planned for today, and so the weather watching was part checking, part praying, and part trying to use sheer WILL to bring good weather… Continue reading Eighty Percent Chance of Rain

The Sixth Day of Christmas
On the sixth day of Christmas..... six pairs of little bare feet. Running through the yard, romping through the house. Getting them where they wanted to be, catching skinks and lizards and frogs and lovingly creating them wonderful habitats. Running after each other and riding bikes and scooters. Wandering all over Blackberry Flats. Or little… Continue reading The Sixth Day of Christmas
And the Winner Is…..
For whatever reason, this fall our whole family has watched "Dancing With the Stars" together. We recorded it and waited until Aub was home from college and could watch it together. Thank you, DWTS folks, for making the finale this week, when she was home and we could watch it LIVE--something we never do. #wedonotdocommercialswell… Continue reading And the Winner Is…..
the best kind of tired
dear one, the best kind of tired is the one that comes from bare feet racing across the green grass of summer smelling faintly of the fish that swam in the lake next to you as you splashed and played and jumped in from the dock with your cousins trying to see how far out… Continue reading the best kind of tired

I Love a Parade
Today was the day for parades. The town closest to us and those all around us had their parades today. It made me smile to see several of my non-local friends talking on Facebook about their local parades today too. I wonder if there is a National Christmas Parade Day in the works. If so, I think the… Continue reading I Love a Parade
A New Tradition, FunGiving
Today was the first Sunday in Advent. Advent means "coming," and this season is for quiet reflection and waiting for what is to come--the birth of Jesus. I have decided to try and enjoy this season. This time of year when the days are the shortest and the darkest of the whole year could be the hardest yet. However, as a… Continue reading A New Tradition, FunGiving
disorienting days of darkness
We had the great fun and adventure of making a road trip from middle Georgia to Alabama today to be with folks we love, friends and family, to celebrate new life and a birthday. Cooter was very excited because he has never been out of state. At least that I can recall. I haven't slept… Continue reading disorienting days of darkness
Hootenannies, Turkey Eggs, and Treasures from the Past
Today was our Annual Fall Family Hootenanny. My Daddy's side of the family has been doing this for many years. In the spring we have an Easter Egg Hunt and Wiener Roast. In the fall it's soup and Brunswick stew and barbecue. And desserts at both. Lots of desserts. Our people can straight cook, y'all. I… Continue reading Hootenannies, Turkey Eggs, and Treasures from the Past
