I added a little local color to the neighborhood this afternoon. With the gorgeous weather, I changed out of my gym clothes and into a skirt and t-shirt and Kenny hat and decided to go walking around the neighborhood.

A mom asked him how old a child needed to be before hearing or reading the stories. Jerram mentioned that he read The Lord of the Rings to his grandchildren [...]

Big fat fly on red door in kitchen.
Easy target.
What for a fly swatter?
Within reach:
Dillard’s The Writing Life and The Ball Blue Book of Canning- my mother’s.

Kenny and I had five dear friends over for dinner last night- Tish and Jonathan, Beth and Bryce and their nigh-on one year old, Eli.
