grandmother selkie →  December 10, 2009 25

I don’t know if I can stop crying long enough to write, but I don’t know what else to do and I’m home alone until later tonight. My grandmother died this morning. She was 92, and she said she wanted to rest, and just went to sleep. I’ve been dreaming for weeks she was going [...]

Pixy-led at every turn, which continued the entire [...]

I’m heading back to California today after 3 weeks in Vermont!! It’s been a whirlwind and there are one million projects and activities I didn’t get around to do – but my main goal was to work on my little cabin in the woods. I have a lot of ideas for the land I have [...]

is it well with thee? is it well with the child? and she answered, it is well. Today was spent in part wandering this very old (for America, of course) graveyard, with graves going back to the 1700s. I was thrifting in a town near where the wedding I’m helping with is happening, so I [...]
