I recently posted my 250th post. I take my little milestones where I can get them, and this one has made me think a little about this whole blogging journey. I was a little concerned when I started the blog that mine would end up being one of those poor neglected sites I sometimes stumble [...]

…you would find me quilting. I say this with some certainty and with some trepidation. Like many of my posts, this one is written and scheduled for publication several days in advance. So this means I’m committing myself to spending a good chunk of my Saturday quilting even though I don’t know what might [...] Have you ever noticed how the very act of looking up at the sky can elevate your mood? And how you can expect that every time you look you’ll see something new and amazing? I’m fascinated by the fact that every way of rendering the sky is ultimately realistic.
