Summer then Fall

Life with a planner continues.  My first forgotten appointment has come and gone.  Otherwise we are off to a good start.  Naomi starts preschool on Tuesday.  It has a play-based structure so I'll be grading her block towers on height and durability as soon as she comes home.  We are also stepping boldly into the food allergy department.  No peanuts, no tree nuts.  No sesame seed products.  This includes hummus.  No hummus wraps.  That was number one on my list for lunch ideas.

The air has been cool here in the mornings recently.  Spring might always be late in New England, but Autumn never misses its cue.  Wool awaits us.



I bought this for six dollars and fifty cents.
Handmade by someone's grandmother or great-aunt Ida.  
We will take good care of you.

  1. I remember when my friend started sending her child to daycare and had to pack lunches. I thought, I would be EXPOSED if I did that. Exposed to the fact that I decide what we are eating five minutes before we eat it.

    Sticky rice & and hard boiled eggs for all!

  3. Ans and I went home with a beautiful (though not handmade) sweater from a thrift store the other day. It's for a tiny baby girl, which obviously neither of us need at the moment. But it was so beautiful we couldn't bear to not take it home. And amen to black bean wraps! Not as pretty as hummus but yummy and mushy and herby (and potentially garlicy) in much the same way! Boo on allergies!
