Greetings friends. I was somewhat dumbstruck this morning when I realized August was history. September hours begin tomorrow at the food cart, school starts next weeks for the grands, I bought a boiled wool sweater. Oh yes I did. I saw it coming. This summer was hot but it was the summer we finally got […]

On the Way?
So we were having lunch the other day at Taproot when R nudged me and pointed…”On the Way”…oh good lord, I haven’t blogged in MONTHS! I doubt anybody is out there. ..well you’re there, but maybe not HERE? It isn’t so much that I have nothing to say…but that the things I’m thinking about are […]
Maggie and Milly and Molly and May
Somebody left a poem in our beach book in early July of 1999. As I often do, I was reading back in the volumes to see what we were doing this same week in other years. This poem struck me as a summing up of beach time for us… maggie and milly and molly and […]
The “Live in the Moment” Thanksgiving
So the other week my cell phone told me one day that I was spending an average of 4 hours a day looking at it. I was horrified. So this holiday Roger and I were trying to live in the moment…to savor the tastes, the people, the holiday ambience, the love, the food…and guess what…? […]
Memorial Day at the Beach
It’s been a lonnnggg wet spring here in the northwest… but we’ve just been given a gem of a gift…a brilliant sunny warm weekend at the beach…usually a July sort of thing. No wind… lots of bike rides and bay views… LOTS of beach time with Sidney (recreating a crab) looking at where the public […]
The Back Door is Open…
Spring is finally here…the tree peony is opening! Certainly the queen of this garden… Live in the moment we read everywhere…and the moments delight us, amaze us, amuse us and sadden us ..which I guess is the point? The moments ARE the life? In a strange way maybe that’s what blogging is about for me…grabbing […]
Creative Thinking When Zoning Fails
“Densification” “Infill”…modern words. These words weren’t part of the vocabulary 25 years ago when we bought this little beach house… Across the street was a heavily wooded lot with huckleberries, salal, shorepines, rhoadies…it looked like this…and birds lived here…”habitat.” For 25 years we rolled up to our house knowing that one day we’d drive in […]
The Varied Life
I keep waiting for a coherent body of photos, events, thoughts to surface (other than the car wash)…to no avail. I guess the life I’m leading is chaotic these days, so lets go anyway…we left the car wash and headed east …first stop Edgefield, a destination spot in a former poor farm…odd but true, and […]
The Heart of the Summer
That’s what I always think the 4th of July is, the heart of the summer, the time of blueberries and peaches…even though there are still three more months ahead and only one behind…(too many years on the academic schedule I guess.) And for us the 4th of July means the beach…this year like most of […]
