treadmill lane

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Deanna

Today I went four miles. First half-mile, walking, warming up; the next two-and-a-half miles jogging at a chunkish lilt–finding a rhythm with that old girl band, The Bangles, and then with the older one, Heart, and then nearly cringing at the objectifying lyrics of Led Zeppelin but loving their beat, too. Last I walked a … Continue reading →

An artifact of strangeness poked up from our garden.I asked Tim if he knew what it was. “I found an onion in the garage,” he said. “It had sprouted, so I planted it.”Tim is allergic to onions.

There was a ladybug on the window, and trying to capture her (or him), I first managed only to catch our new-unfurled maple leaves and the worn look under our house’s eaves.

Oh, before I write something else, I want to wish my parents a happy 53rd anniversary. (!) Their big day took place in downtown Eugene, in a church with a dome, back when women wore hats and gloves and everyone looked cute in black and white.

there are days (at least, one has come along)…

Posted on April 20, 2009 by Deanna

…when I sit, blinking at my screen, catching up on blog posts adorned by spring and fall, crafting and healing. And then I wander under the amazing brightness of our solar tube, then out through the back door into sunniness, remembering, yes, it’s WARM. Ahh.

We received illuminated encouragement in our home recently. On a weekend with nothing better to do, Tim cut a hole in the ceiling. Next, he fiddled around on the roof and in the attic. Like artwork, the tube carries daylight through a reflective shaft and into our once-dark hallway. Feeling depressed? Come over and stand … Continue reading →
