moment

A video answering the question, “What is a moment?”  Radiolab does beautiful work.  This took my breath away.

number 16: aioli

Adam has been asking me to make aioli for a long time now.  It took me a long time to get around to it, partly because I thought it would be difficult, partly because I didn’t think I would eat much of it.  I didn’t try aioli until just a couple years ago.  I had [...]

number 23, busy days

We’ve had some busy days at the Whitlock house.  Busy with lots of good things, but good things can tire me out, too!  Still, we have also had small moments of rest.  Drinking coffee by the river in the morning and watching the baby geese.  Driving through storms with a sleeping baby.  Picking out tomato [...]

dance

I have other things to write about, but I am busy and lazy, and Reed was dancing to this song this morning.  It’s too beautiful of a day to be sitting at my computer.

summer, we are ready

When Reed woke from napping and the sun cooled, my bare-legged baby and I took to the streets, pacifier, keys, and tree manual in hand.  I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon.  While we were out learning to spot hawthorns, black ash, and red river birch, we checked in on some [...]

summer.

When I put Reed down for his nap, I watched the fat maple leaves [...]

sundays

I like Sundays best.  I like the winding down of weekend festivities.  I like preparing for the fresh week ahead.

he and me

I like how he makes me laugh.  Even when I’m grumpy.  When most people try making me laugh when I am grumpy, I get grumpier.  But he just makes me laugh.

water, water, water

It’s a cold, rainy May day in Southern Wisconsin.  We spent most of the day inside, venturing only a few blocks to get ingredients for a spontaneous pot of soup.  I thought my days of hunkering down under wool blankets were done until autumn, but I am glad I didn’t pack away our scarves.
On the [...]
