    what i do, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

    In the library with my dig camera. surreptitiously ‘copying’ an article by taking photos of it. much cheaper than the copy machines…

  • something’s simmering


    pilot dilly, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

    Something’s been simmering at chez pilgrimgirl (part of the reason that I’ve been running so many ‘classic’ posts lately). A new top-secret project…

    This picture is a hint.

    Can I just say that I just love new projects! And can I also say that I’ve been humming this song an awful lot lately…

  • greatest hits

    Some keywords that’ll hit my blog first on a google search:
    mormon quaker
    amputee jana
    flower pilgrimgirl
    Eleanora Duse food
    scribes changing the bible

    [Note: that last one really surprised me]

    okay and this is a bit of a cheat because it doesn’t pull up my site, but it pulls up a post that I wrote for another blog:
    mormon kama sutra

    044: Treasure Trove., originally uploaded by mind on fire.

    Two of them in one well-crafted photo.

    Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?

    PS: do note the stickers on the spine of each book–all shelved by LOC number…

  • awwwww….


    Elly cat loves Macs., originally uploaded by mind on fire.

    Isn’t she just the cutest thing ever? She has the sweetest personality, too. Full of curiosity and coziness. The first to chase all of the cardboard box mice away and oh-so-eager to curl up with anyone who’s taking a nap.

    Last night she was the very image of cuteness as she climbed into bed with John and I, formed a soft ball between our bodies and then laid her head on John’s pillow. As if to say, ‘you humans, I do so love you.’

    046:Fun with Photoshop., originally uploaded by mind on fire.

    I really like this pic of John–how it captures impish expression in his eyes that I know oh-so-well.

    Adorable :)

  • in our neighborhood


    IMG_0090, originally uploaded by 2ToneEng.

    I didn’t take this pic myself, but it’s pretty close to what it has looked like outside today. Creepy orange sky, raining ash.

    At least the wind seems to have died down.

    We are following the ‘rules’–hunkering down inside with windows and doors closed. I went out briefly to put gas in the car ‘just in case’ and found that the power was out in most of the nearby shopping centers–had to go pretty far to find a place with working gas pumps.

    Kinda scary.

    What about you–are you all okay? Anyone else out there near a fire?

    Can you tell what’s mirrored in my glasses? :)

    Toby in Contemplation., originally uploaded by mind on fire.

    I just love this picture that John took of our TobyJoy.

    Great shot, gorgeous kitty.

  • under the weather


    coral, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

    I’m feelin’ sick today–a cold/flu thing that’s been brewing for a few days. A bit of a cough, some body aches, a pounding sinus headache.

    My right hand, esp my fingers, are really hurting. Translation: not much typing today, I think.

  • i heart socks


    socks. with stripes, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

    I’m actually not wearing these socks today because I headed over to campus early wearing my typical leather maryjanes (too narrow for fuzzy socks).

    But if I was at home and sitting in my cozy chair and reading, these are what I would be wearing on this overcast and drizzly day…. :)
