Preamble, here. Part 1, here. The Park The kids and I unleashed ourselves onto the crowded park area like a breaking dam. Sun, slides and freedom! In case hunger were strike at a moments notice, I was armed with a cooler full of hummus, flat bread sandwich thins and clementine oranges. White puffy clouds, cool [...]

Yes, Bear Don’t bears eat a lot, then go sleep for a good long while, say, all winter long? That is a bit of a reflection of my current lifestyle. I try to grin despite all the sickness and the fatigue of this pregnancy but really I don’t hide it very well. I try not [...]

The Puddles Have Arrived Spring has sprung. Puddles, ice and mud galore! Molly loved stomping around in her new rain boots this weekend.

Green Week Salt and Chocolate blog writer, Mary Beth, has been doing a photographic essay or “noticing” project about the color GREEN called Green Week! Here I sit, a Minnesotan expecting yet another winter storm today, struggling to find spring-filled relief and inspiration.

Just when my mind is ready to snap from being unable to paint anything outside, open the bedroom windows or get a grip on running my home, I find a moment or two like these… Winter sun rays Brighter than summer days Snow banks beam light Warm sunspot, just right Children bounce off the wall [...]
