Good Morning!

I was up at 2 this morning, then again at 3.  Not because I was so excited for Tuesday to start that I couldn’t sleep.  Apparently, though, Baby Harbat was.  She was cry-whining and when I went in to her

It is Green

Our lawn, that is.  From the recent rains, all dormant seeds in our lawn have sprouted up.  This has taken two days, an astonishing genesis of life from the dusty dirt of the lawn.  I am pleased to see things

Eating…[repeat]…Eating…[repeat]

Dishes, Washing Of

I tire of washing dishes by hand.  Funny, when you say it you sound like a 19th century matron who shakes her lace hanky at manual labor.  I washed my own dishes for four years in my own apartment, then

Stuff ‘N Stuff

The search for a dishwasher continues.  In contradiction to common sense, we went to several retail outlets this weekend.  Since it is after Thanksgiving there was little merchandise on the shelves, lots scattered on the floor, and a tangy whiff
