Winter Baby

Our new baby, Astrid.


Scared of her new surroundings...

Flowers in the Snow

Much to my surprise, when I went out to get the mail this morning, snow coming down, I discovered the 2009 catalog from Brent and Becky's Bulbs. It was a pleasant spring teaser, which was graciously appreciated. I do love winter, and in fact, I much prefer a snowy winter to one that's just cold, but we've had snow on the ground since my birthday in mid December, so it's been a bit oppressive. And very tundra-esque around here lately.

I'm already eyeing the gladiolas, which I had lusted after all last summer.

lost website : (

Okay. Deep breath. Sadly, the squarespace account I was using to write my old blog expired and I have since lost all of my archived entries, including recipes, knitting, sewing and gardening projects, and worst of all, loads and loads of pictures. But in an effort to start anew, I'm continuing my blog here. I was able to transfer some of my old entries, but am missing many. More later.
