Well we were lucky here – the rain held off on Halloween night, so we had no drippy devils or soggy Skywalkers. It was a great evening. We have a nice custom of homemade pizza with our neighbors on Halloween night before trick or treating. Then all the kids started out together – Cruella de …

Costumes
Even though the snowflake fairy outfit isn’t completely finished, the guys had fun playing around in their costumes yesterday afternoon. They wanted to surprise Tom when he rode home from work. I think Honey looks like she’s off to a masquerade – she loves clipping a little white bird to her headband. It was a …
7:37am
Let’s just say, hypothetically, that it’s the morning of your son’s snack day at school. You’re making banana chocolate chip muffins, which may be one of the greatest snack day switcheroos in history as they contain ground flax and whole wheat flour, no eggs or butter, and only about 1 tbsp of finely chopped up …
One of Those People
There’s this couple here in town that we see out walking quite frequently. We probably pass lots of the same folks when we’re out and about, but these two are distinct.

Yesterday we got a call from our good friend Amy asking if we’d like to join them for a dinner picnic in the Marin Headlands to watch the full moon rise. (Sunset and moonrise were only 15 minutes apart last night, making it a particularly good night for viewing.) So we jumped at the …
What a Weekend
It was one of those weekends that just reaffirms my love for fall. Bright and crisp and filled with fun. My daughter had Friday off so we ran errands that needed running and we planned for a dinner party that night. It was a luxurious day together. Adding to the fun, we have a guest …
Yet Another Paper Posy
I bet you’ll never guess I took these photos after 11pm. Real professional style – one hand holds the camera, the other holds the flowers. (Deep breaths, Peter, just take deep breaths…) I was a little sleepy.
Thoughts on Procrastination, Apple Muffins and Aggressive Grocery Clerks
Let’s take this one in reverse order, title-wise. Yesterday morning I was at the grocery store, and I just did not hit it off with the clerk in the checkout line. I wasn’t at my neighborhood store, where all the cashiers know us and we have a nice discussion each time we meet. We talk …
