… in answer to Nourishing Words, we wuv our wovel. Weawwy!
Yesterday’s storm gave us an opportunity to test it out nicely, and it outperformed the shovel decisively (except in really small areas, where the shovel was the obvious implement of choice).
For clearing paths, cleaning the walkway to the house, or cleaning up the edges of [...]
The Red Blazer is a restaurant that’s graced the scene in Concord, NH for quite some time. I’ve visited it on occasion through the years – mostly for work-related events. I definitely haven’t been a frequent flier – but their efforts on the sustainability front definitely make me want to support them more.
Here’s a great [...]

I’ve been meaning to write for awhile about this very neat on-line tool that I’ve been using lately … Google Alerts! This is a free service whereby you can enter any number of keywords or search terms that you want, and receive alerts from Google by e-mail, whenever those terms pop up as the search [...]

Lindsey Dolich (of ESPNsoccernet) has posted her analysis of the USWNT 18-woman Olympic Roster. I love the “battle cry” that she cites, as Pia continues her transformation of this team.
Embrace change. Be brave.
A profile of Pia went up on the NBC Olympic Site yesterday and I was interested to note that she debuted for the [...]

A friend sent me some informaton about a site called Catalog Choice which lets you identify catalogs you want to stop receiving … and which apparantly actually WORKS! I guess you select the catalog you want to cancel, enter your customer number from the catalog mailing label, and the site will contact the source … and voila. Nifty! [...]
It’s Saturday … and a busy one at that! I don’t have a topic for today, and need to go do the food shopping for the week. Well – how about this? Here’s a copy of our weekly staples list for your perusal. Take it, adapt it, and use it if you like!

Okay, here it is. It’s 1/14/08 and my exercise regimen (the one I wrote about before the holidays) is almost non-existent. Meanwhile chocolate calls, blogging calls, football still calls … and with football there’s the whole beer and pretzels thing … and you get the picture.
I thought I had it licked, stepping back from “just do it” [...]

So here it is, the pristine new morning of a pristine new year. (Wouldn’t it be nice if that particular illusion were true.) I do find meaning in new beginnings, beginner’s mind, and such concepts … however I don’t go so far as to think they erase the past. No, that’s with me always – [...]
It’s @ 4PM on New Year’s Eve afternoon. We’ve been digging out after @ a foot of lovely soft snow here in NH. The old year goes out awash in new snow, with more expected for tomorrow. I’ve no particularly heavy thoughts this New Year’s Eve. Maybe that’ll come later, by the chiminea, as the [...]
I don’t know about you, but I often find that I can get so caught up in the details of my everydays that I lose sight of the bigger picture – the larger sweep of this life that I’m living. It’s important to remember the things on my “To Do” list and to tick them off [...]
The other day I caught myself thinking about my diet and my exercise regimen. I was thinking, “Well, the holidays are coming, so I might as well wait until after the New Year to buckle down and get healthy!” This was on December 4, mind you! I was glad to see that the thought didn’t [...]
After packing all the ingredients for tonight’s dinner into the crockpot, and scrubbing the sinks, then making myself a cup of tea, I find myself, today, thinking about all the things that we humans do that sustain us — and yet that disappear almost as soon as they are done.
These are the tasks that women have [...]
I’m not a person who craves adventure. In fact, if anything, I crave order and routine. That’s not to say I don’t have my “zany” moments, but we’re talking craving here! So settling into a pattern is something that I would expect to find comfortable.
Okay, so here I am on October 25, 2007. Game 2 of [...]
The wind is pure wizardry tonight. Leaves rustling crisp and wild in the darkness … this wind makes me want to go out and wander on our nighttime hill. As much as I love it, though, I know that this October wind means that most of the beautiful colors will be gone from our trees [...]
