Today is a lovely day

Today is a lovely day, /
Where the sprightly green of e.e. cummings /

His Presence in the waves

I love being at home. But sometimes there is an accompanying trapped feeling. Trapped within my own honey-do list. Seemingly endless people to contact and visit, groceries to buy, food to cook, laundry to soak, languages to study, paperwork to stress over.

Belated birthday trip: Florence

Our little suitcase rattled long-sufferingly along behind us. Continue reading Belated birthday trip: Florence

France and other things

Meanwhile, enjoy a few pictures from a recent (and brief) trip to Lyon, France. Although the trip was not a vacation, we managed to spend an afternoon touring parts of the city. Continue reading France and other things
