The Napping Cat

The Napping Cat

It’s Wordless Wednesday again, which means it’s time for me to give my typing fingers a rest and post yet another cat photo.  You’re on the edge of your seat just thinking about it, right? Well so is this cat. Here’s Hannah, showing off her fluffy mid-section while in a deep sleep. She has such […]

Lake Tashmoo – Wordless Wednesday

Lake Tashmoo – Wordless Wednesday

After years of exploring Martha’s Vineyard on our summer vacations, we discovered a bumpy, sandy road that led out to edge of Tashmoo Lake.  It’s quiet, beautiful and perfect for little ones to explore without the ocean waves knocking them down. This photo was taken by my husband as the sun was going down and […]

My Cat is an Internet Addict

My Cat is an Internet Addict

  Do you wonder what your cat does all night while the family sleeps? As Dave wandered through the kitchen late Sunday night, he found Percy staring at the computer screen in the otherwise dark room. To capture this, Dave had to stand back and zoom in with the camera, because Percy is still not […]

A Walk Through the Garden – Wordless Wednesday

A Walk Through the Garden – Wordless Wednesday

I think this is the closest I’ve ever been to standing inside of a Monet painting.  This was taken at the New York Botanical Garden. If you look closely, you will see the Princess wandering around in there. She blends well, dressed in pink. This post is a part of the Wordless Wednesday Link-up with […]

Wordless Wednesday – The Smiling Cat

Wordless Wednesday – The Smiling Cat

  This is Cookie at 3 months old. Is she smiling? Laughing? Completely crazed?   I’m guessing this is a happy face, based on her compulsive purring habits.  She posed like this for me less than 10 minutes after we first met her. I knew we were in for some serious entertainment with this little […]

Wordless Wednesday – Summer Wind

Wordless Wednesday – Summer Wind

A warm breeze in your hair. A child running through the tall grass, carefree. Pure joy of summer. I miss it. Forget not that the earth likes to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. -Kahlil Gibran   Take a look at more  Wordless Wednesday entries with Pictimilitude and […]

To Newtown, With Love

To Newtown, With Love

We rushed out of the cold and into the warmth of Edmond Town Hall in Newtown. We had three minutes to spare before my daughter’s performing arts class. That’s when I noticed the open door, to the side of the lobby. The room was lined with tables, covered in cards, artwork, notes of love and […]

Wordless Wednesday – At The Barn

Wordless Wednesday – At The Barn

    I’ve mentioned before how I find peace at the barn, with the horses. I love all of it. The smell of  the barn. The sound of the horses cantering through the fields. The sight of the red buildings. The feeling of the reins woven through my fingers. Horse hair on my clothes. The […]

iPhone Photography with the OlloClip

iPhone Photography with the OlloClip

The beauty of the iPhone camera is that it’s always in your back pocket. The downside? It may not be as versatile as your good camera (you know, the one with the special bag and the lenses that cost you the equivalent of a Caribbean vacation). Before I say anymore, you should know that I […]

Wordless Wednesday – Celestite

Wordless Wednesday – Celestite

This photo is of Celestite, also known as Celestine, and was taken with an iPhone camera. I keep a few pieces of this crystal around the house. Looking at it is like gazing at the stars. This particular piece is from Madagascar. In my next post I’ll explain how this photo was taken with the […]

Winter in Connecticut – Wordless Wednesday

Winter in Connecticut – Wordless Wednesday

This photo was taken during Alfred, a storm that left us without power for 9 days.  The winters here in Connecticut have brought us far more snow than we expected, along with plenty of damage to our house and land. The upside? The kids love it. It’s beautiful (for the first few days). The animals […]

Hiking Mine Hill Preserve in Roxbury CT

Hiking Mine Hill Preserve in Roxbury CT

Yesterday I posted this photo with a challenge to guess where my little Princess was standing. The answer? She was standing in an 19th Century blasting furnace at old mining complex in Litchfield County Connecticut.  We went there for the beautiful hiking trails. The old mining structures were an unexpected “treat” for the kids to […]

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

Did I say Wordless Wednesday? I meant almost wordless. I’m participating in this new Wednesday tradition with Cyndi, over at Pictimilitude. If you haven’t seen her work, go check it out now. I  can’t take credit for this photo. Wilderness Dad captured this image of the Princess somewhere in the wild. He’s the real photographer […]

16 Hours in Lake Placid

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

Are You Sure About Him?

Are You Sure About Him?

“He’s still not sure about me.” Wilderness Dad is referring to the cat, Percy. He’s been with us for five months now. Percy loves me. He jumps up into bed to cuddle and if my husband even looks at him, he bolts. “It’s been 15 years and I’m not sure about you,” I said. He […]

Autumn Falling

Autumn Falling

I woke up this morning and it had happened. During the night the wind blew down 90% of the leaves in my backyard. I can see my neighbors again. Yuck.  They can see me. I doubt they’re looking, but I don’t like the exposure. That title up there, Autumn Falling, has been in my head […]

One Moment: Mirror Lake

One Moment: Mirror Lake

There are places that inspire us, views that break our hearts and gentle spots where we want to set ourselves down and rest for a long while. There are places that stay with us long after after we leave them behind. They call us back, as if to say there is something we missed, more […]

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

  I’ve decided to use this as on opportunity to introduce you to my favorite photographer. You know him as Wilderness Dad.  See his work on Instagram by following @Dlandisman Ooops. Guess I broke the wordless rule. I’m such a rebel. Shutting up now.

Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

The following post is a flashback, written shortly after I was diagnosed with Lyme and put on a restricted diet. Years later,  I’m still on it. I’m still dealing with Lyme. A true addict, I’m still craving the sweet stuff. A few things are essential to my happy survival. They are faith, hope, love and until […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]
