Trillium
After taking these photos while I was at a retreat in Union, I checked facebook and saw that a friend on holiday 35 miles away took the same picture at the same time. 🙂 Trillium are perennials, and picking the flower can damage the plant so much that it takes a few years to recover. […]
Salt Water
Isak Denison once wrote that the cure for anything is salt water: tears, sweat, or the sea Personally, I’d much rather take my cure from the sea, than sweat or tears. We really should get out here more often. This wasn’t Gem’s first trip to the beach; last time she was just a few months […]
How they look: pensive

As I continued on my way to the meeting, the sunset intensified. Each time I pulled through an intersection, the […]

I remember how much my neices and nephews enjoyed their grandpa – and he them – story time, living room forts, tickle monsters… I know there is little sense […]
Tim and Mel Get Married
Sunday night my little brother got married to a smart, beautiful, sassy, funny, bold, independent, adventurous, organized, and very sweet girl. She is exactly what he needs.
Congratulations you two! I think you are perfect for each other.
Keeping Me On My Toes
