Hurray, there is snow and definitive signs of winter-time in Homer! Judah, Amesa, Blaster and I are excited about playing outside in the snow. I’m afraid that Zach Brown is slightly less enthusiastic about working outside in the snow, perhaps because he does not have frequent indoor interludes of snack time, story time, nap time, [...]

Summer is drawing to a close in this hemisphere, although in Homer, Alaska it feels as though summer is just now on it’s way in… this past week’s weather has been the nicest since April! I’m quite excited for Winter; it’s a fun season and I love the natural transitions from Summer to Autumn and [...]

It is very clear to me this year, that the designated time we have together to celebrate Christmas, is really all about spending our time together, peacefully and happily and mirthfully. The surrounding months are busy with work and classes and various time consuming activities and events…but I am so thankful to have this protected [...]

It’s finally winter in Homer! Judah loves to play in the snow. She was extra pumped when we all trudged through the snow to pick out a tree and despite never having selected a Christmas tree before, she was quite involved in the process and assertive about which trees met her approval. We had a [...]

I love holidays. I love celebrating, I love people, I love food, I love my family, I love gifts, I love the seasons and I love fun. I (regrettably) participate in but do not love: materialism, consumerism, gluttony, commercialism and the cheap thrill that comes from indulging in such fleeting pleasures. Must these lists mirror [...]
Waiting for Winter

It appears as though Autumn cannot let go. I keep hoping for snow. We have started reading books about Winter, in our attempts to summon this change of Season. Presently it’s raining…if it could just cool off a bit, that rain would turn to snow! Winter in Homer is notoriously rainy, much to my dismay, [...]
