Socks for Social Distancing
One of my first tasks to kick off the upcoming weeks of “social distancing” was to find the appropriate pair of socks from the archives. As it turns out, though, I don’t actually have any pairs with either pandemic symbols or adorable little hazmat suits in a spot pattern. Since I couldn’t find a pair … Continue reading Socks for Social Distancing
There is too much; I will sum up
This is our 2018, in one image. These are the "Happy New Year" socks I wore yesterday. After taking the picture below, I used the 365 images of the socks from the past year and some nifty software to make the mosaic above. I won't lie; I'm pretty darned happy with how it turned out.

We have… …made the green… …things grow! I realize that many of you are probably eying my … Continue reading A Backyard Summer Miracle
Daylight Saving Time
Don't forget, most of us living in the United States will be turning our clocks forward Saturday night. And while losing an hour of sleep is never one of my favorite things, I don't mind admitting that I'm very much looking forward to the neighborhood being a good deal brighter outside at 6:50 PM next week.Who'd have … Continue reading Daylight Saving Time
Of Apples And Dinosaur Ambition
I’m this close (*presses finger and thumb together*) to finishing this pass of revisions on Project Hermey and shipping it off to interested beta readers who have been ridiculously patient with all the extra time it’s taken me. Huzzah! for that! But, it means I've got very little time to post today. I had leaving you … Continue reading Of Apples And Dinosaur Ambition
