A Little Deer

Back from vacation-land

Hmmm. So sorry I just left you all hanging for a bit. We escaped small city life for a bit and retreated to Maine for 5 days. We got back last night and to be truthful I wasn't ready to come home. Good thing we are going back in two weeks! We spent our time grilling delicious food, spending all day by the lake and the Saco river. There was kayaking and peach-strawberry crisp. It smells SO good up there, pine trees and cinnamon fern. I really enjoyed listening to the song birds, the chipmunks rustling in the leaves and the sound of the screen door opening and shutting. Sometimes I dream of living in Maine but then remember just how loooong winter is up there. Not sure if I have what it takes to make it through. Thanks to Amanda's list we have big plans on attending the bluegrass festival and the common ground country fair this fall. 

I have been meaning to show off my new bauble (p.s. I'm wearing it in the pic!)...I'm in love and so happy I snatched one up! Thank you Kristen and Mati. Oh and don't forget to vote for mati!!

OH yes and one more thing, an interview I did is now up on Kidoinfo, a local site geared towards parents in and around Providence, feel free to take a gander and welcome all who have popped on over from the site. Come, sit, say hello!

Happy Day everyone!

new work

I know...I pretty much disappeared. I have been thinking that maybe I shouldn't keep this blog after my year is up...I'm sooo bad about posting sometimes. I go through spurs, I do still read everyone else's and put stuff up on flickr. I'm just not sure I'm much of a blogger.
Anywho....here is a pinch of what I have been up to:

OH and for those of you who asked, I DID check up on the issue of the super unclean farm with the ASPCA officer who went out there. She talked to the guy in charge and the situation is being rectified. I'll go back and see for my self in a few weeks.
