We love winter.

It's been a glorious six days. We've been reading aloud from Shel Silverstein's "Runny Babbit" and playing lots of Chinese Checkers. Let it snow.

The last of August

CNE is the only reason I am posting to this old blog site. Happy birthday, if you're reading this!

One year later. . .

. . .and we're still making things.  Mark concocted a breakfast parfait of yogurt, currants, pineapple and wheat germ.  James is getting to work on this year's Preakness wreath.  In general, we all just making a mess, and how wonderful is that?! We love our wooden blocks and the serendipity of evolving mosaic patterns! 

Card tricks

James is 11, and is walking around with a new deck of cards in his sweatshirt pocket.  If we made anything today, it was this: three submarine sandwiches and one memory of a good card trick.  James says that a deck of cards is a great gift.

Will try to post photos of things I make with and for my children. Today it was blueberry pound cake. Yesterday it was blueberry pancakes.  That's where the blog name comes from. No pictures. We ate everything!
