Sunday. I hope all of you are celebrating Mother’s Day — and being celebrated. And maybe somewhere in your day are a few coveted minutes and a cup of tea (or something deeper and redder) and time to reflect on the day, on the [...]
Monday. I wanted to post yesterday. In the midst of a marathon-three days of busyness, I realized that I was in the middle of an internal avalanche of words and philosophy and emotion. Though I feel I’ve shut down my words in all mediums, [...]
Thursday. This photo is not new, and the window is clearly not even close to clean. But I’m a sucker for a good reflection. This photo came to mind when I was thinking about a piece on parent involvement I posted at Science Buddies this [...]
Wednesday afternoon. These look much more like it, right? As we got ready to leave school, I told the kids about my sunflower dilemma. They have been along with me in the last few days as I’ve driven around searching for a sunflower, so I [...]

Tuesday. After a complete system failure, I finally have a new system up and running. Eventually I’ll see if I can figure out how to pull my old hard drive, plunk it into another system, and get to my data. Right now, I’ve got my [...]

Wednesday night. Late. Spring Break Week. A week at home working with the boys isn’t always easy, but we’re making the best of it. The sun peeked out today, and just before we headed out for the afternoon to roam the Exploratorium, the youngest showed [...]

Monday. Tea break after a free-for-all tears break. I know it means I’m at my own brim, my own breaking point. I found myself trying to explain to an 11-year old the other day about “fate”… how sometimes you meet someone or something happens for [...]

(Photo: by Opal, March 2012) Saturday – Once again. I’m listening to the podcast (170) right now. I promise. And saying that, really, is probably for me. You may not care. You probably are not waiting with baited breath. But I need to get it [...]

Mid-week. It’s raining today, rain that is long overdue and seems to have settled in. I’d explain to you that two weeks and a day ago, I planned to record 170, but it seems I end up saying that every time. The show is [...]

Sometimes the creative process looks just like this! On the final day of Opal’s visit here, I finally sat down to plot out the measurements for a large commissioned project. Our work is by its very nature so completely free-form that measurements are rarely [...]

Day 13 – A Monday. Today was the end of the visit. There was a flurry yesterday of business to attend to and loose ends to wrap up, a special dessert made (I have no clue who will eat all of it that remains!), [...]

Day 12 – A Sunday. I am a few days behind. Today is the last full day of this collaborative working visit. There has been a lot going on, a lot of routine, a bit of drama now and then (including a toe accident that [...]

Day 7 — A Tuesday and a birthday. I need to pull photos off of my camera to reflect the day, though I am not sure I took many, and I feel I sewed very few seams. It ended up being a busy day, full [...]
