I am pretty sure that I saw a shooting star tonight! Right through my windshield as I drove past a roadside lake. Is that possible? Or even likely?
In any case, I hardly knew what to wish for. More days like today? The blessed monotony of things going well? The general continuation of my good fortune [...]

A foggy, rainy day on post-Christmas Cape Cod. Everything about being at home is annoying. The sink is clogged. The cats are unaffectionate. A fifty dollar gift certificate to the bookstore is burning a hole in my pocket.

OK, actually I knit my very first glove in October while on vacation in Vermont. But that was just a test glove, a starter glove, a trial glove.

I have now officially done every single disgusting AND odious job in the house.
OK, the gutters. I didn’t do the gutters. And I meant to.
Technically, those aren’t in the house. ahem.
If I had been at all clever I would have taken before and after photos of the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room, and the [...]

I am waiting for the angry red line of thunderstorms that has been progressing rakishly across the northeast to finally make its acquaintance with our side of the state. I had a phone date tonight with my friend who liveth in the western part of the state, and she didn’t call. I can only attribute [...]
