Make me smile…

written by Jana March 30, 2006

–turning in grades yesterday. whew. another quarter of school all done. ate 2 do-si-dos and did some high-fives with the kiddoes to celebrate.

–a blank page on my calendar today. still lots of stuff to do, but no classes, no appts, no meetings. woohoo!

–crocheting. about 10 years ago my friend Mindy taught me how to crochet and since then I’ve made many crocheted items, but I’ve never learned how to read & follow a pattern. Thanks to the Happy Hooker I’m about halfway through my first follow-a-pattern project.

–the sun is shining today, small birds are twittering on my front porch, I’m sipping hot tea w/milk, and the day stretches ahead of me with all of the joy and promise of a grassy field filled with wildflowers.

What a nice image, especially after watching the sun rise over the Atlantic on a beautiful morning as March comes to an end.

It felt very warm to me this morning- about 38 degrees when I left the house. But it seemed quite unsettling to see the photo of your kids the other day camping in T-shirts. I climbed Mt. Moosilauke in New Hampshire two weeks ago and it still felt distinctly Arctic.

Now I am in my Boston office, and I could very much use a day of grassy fields and wildflowers. I like Boston, but your entry reminded me, with some discomfort, how glad I am that I live in a beautiful place, far from ths city.

I hope that your dawn is as evocative as mine, and that you have a fine day.

Gray:
The low temp while the kids were camping was about 40 degrees (tho it probably felt colder because of the wind). We are so spoiled w/warm weather here!! :)

But, I have to admit that I am insanely jealous of your Boston office. I am hoping to (someday!) live in Boston or its environs!!!! :)

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
