In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Distractions on the way to the end of the tunnel

November 14, 2020 By Ellen

It’s weird.

Pictures of recent days

June 14, 2020 By Ellen

The days are merging into each other so I thought I’d mark in photos… There was the day we met a family of geese. There was the day Boy Three decided that what I really needed was an emergency poncho. There was the day I decided to channel Little House on the Prairie hair do. […]
