My family is filtering into town – my sister and younger niece arrived a week ago Thursday (younger niece spent this week at her first sleep away camp). So the photo taking at our outings has been a bit reduced – I’ve been concentrating on tide pooling. But the beach is there, and is lovely!

I aspire to have as a good of retirement output as Bujold does. I snap these novellas up as soon as I see them – they’re just such a great read. This story isn’t really revolutionary – Pen’s journeying into the countryside to find a forgotten shrine to his god, the Bastard. In a small

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while – I think it was a Kindle First Reads book, back when we actually had Prime. It’s a retelling of Pride and Prejudice, set in the Bennet women’s house at Longbourn College, which reminds me quite a bit of my New England liberal arts college experience,

Ashira Cohen always thought she as mundane, even having a Nefesh father. She’s made a life

I’ve tagged this DIY, but it’s really not. We paid someone to replace the old, disgusting wall to wall carpets in our three bedrooms. The new floors are glorious. Due to everything else going on, we are nowhere near getting the rooms put back together (there will be some DIY involved – we have to
So it’s June 23rd, and I’m catching up on most of my regular June posts. You may notice very little wildflower content. We’ve had some family stuff going on that has brought us out of state for most of the weekends of June so far, to Springfield, MA. I never had a reason to go
