Thanks for hanging in there while I’m getting a new round of techie stuff figured out. Creating and designing a custom website is no easy feat, especially for someone who didn’t even know how to use a digital camera three years ago.

I suppose a few may be wondering how my challenge of the utmost kind is holding up. It’s challenging. And good. And I’m having fun with it so far. One of the elements that I like about participating in something like this is that it becomes surprisingly personal. I’m looking inside and out to discover exactly what it is […]
This winter I have acquired a new friend. Her name is Jasmine Green. She lives in a teapot, a cup, a jar, sometimes an unbleached filter. But she’s always nearby.
