Dirty Mail
Tuesday, May 31, 2011
I received a package the other day from beau farmer. On first reading, I thought the jar contained Magic West Virginia Man Dirt, Best Variety. But, just as delightful, it’s actually Magic West Virginia Mtn. Dirt, Beet Variety. I promptly sprinkled its contents into my tiny garden bed and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that a beet-stalk […]

As Long As I’ve Got My Plastic Joseph
Tuesday, May 24, 2011
In her superstitiously Catholic fashion, my mom asked if she could give me something to protect our new home. I was hoping for a bamboo plant, her traditional “luck” gift beginning with my first move post college to Chicago.

Mountain Marriage
Sunday, May 8, 2011
I’ve been playing with my digital (Harinezumi) toy camera quite a bit, especially on trips involving carry-on baggage. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the quality of this tiny tot’s images (it makes some complexions in a certain light appear hot pink!) but it’s refreshingly portable and easy to slip by the camera […]
Breaking Ground
Sunday, May 1, 2011
This spring marks my first attempt as a solo gardener while farmer T is away tendin’ to hogs and clearin’ brush to make way for fences in West Virginia. I’m keeping it small and manageable – the plot is about as big as I am tall. Here’s a peek at the beginnings…
Better Half
Sunday, April 24, 2011
In lieu of penis straws and stripper poles, our ever inseparable betrothed friends opted for a joint bachelor-bachelorette party at a karaoke bar. This seemed like a great conceptual gift giving opportunity so my crafty side set to work. I found an Alfred Hitchcock quote – “In a good marriage each is the others better […]

The New Bruce…
Sunday, March 20, 2011
…brought to you by one harried month’s worth of sweat equity. Â It was a stressful but oh so satisfying home rehab adventure – mostly D.I.Y. with big help/advice/support from one contractor friend and a few brave non-contractor buddies. Hands on home ownership was deeply felt once we left the land of “all we need to […]
