Parenting is tricky: teaching them to walk without fear, yet still watch out for that edge.

day at the museum
Posted in Motherhood, Photography, Writing, tagged ASTC Passport Program, Chicago, Field Museum of Natural History, museums on April 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
On a recent trip to Chicago, we had the opportunity to visit some incredible museums. It was not quite the famed Million Museum March of family lore, but we packed a lot into a couple days. This handsome fellow graced the atrium of the Field Museum of Natural History. Turns out our local museum center [...]
swimming laps

Ahhh, the zoo in the springtime, for me the best time of year to go. The summer — not so much: heat and humidity don’t mix well with the wafting aromas of african animal feces. But now, the zoo puts on a wonderful floral show with the daffodils, tulips and hyacinths sharing the grounds with [...]
easter baskets
Posted in Photography, seasons, tagged easter basket, olives, tulips on April 12, 2009 | 7 Comments »
My Easter basket always contained a can of ripe olives. Sure, I was a big fan of the chocolate bunny (hollow or solid), the peeps, malted-milk-ball robin eggs the and jelly beans. I loved the egg hunt around the house for real, brightly dyed, hard-boiled eggs. We would usually find almost all of them, which [...]
is this a happy face?

Is she smiling? Sometimes it is hard to tell. Could be maniacal plotting of the dog’s untimely demise.
migrations

For those of you in the United States and Canada, I found this site to track the hummingbird migration for 2009. I do not have an official map from the AARP, but I think the retirees heading north from Florida should be following roughly the same migratory patterns. We have found that if you feed [...]
neutered dog pal

Kenzie has a new friend. He is very cute. He has a great smile. And other appealing qualities. They romp and play and get along very, very well. Then, later, it’s nice to kick back and share a stick.
spring is in the air
Posted in Photography, seasons, tagged crocus, flowers, spring on March 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Here’s a little ditty from my youth: “Spring is sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where the flowers is?” Wow, that looks even more bizarre written out than it did playing over and over in my head the last 40 springs. Yes, folks, now we know why I became obsessed with grammar and words. [...]
hope springs eternal

I have planned to snap some photos of the crocus in my garden as they begin to peek out from the cold ground. Crocus are my favorite flower; they are to me the first beautiful color after the winter of gray and brown and white. The grand idea was to document their emergence as a [...]
