UNCOOPED

By Julie | Published: April 28, 2013
Just minutes after this happened today: This did: Because right after I got the cushions back on the screen porch, the first spring downpour of the year blew into the neighborhood – complete with thunder. (Minus the snow, thank you God!!) With temps more than double what they were six days ago. I cannot adequately express [...]

LOCK-OUT

By Julie | Published: April 27, 2013
For the past month or two, I’ve had a growing sense of concern nipping at the back of my mind that I may have lost the key to our screen porch door lock. And by lost I mean put it in a very special place that I could no longer remember, for safekeeping over the winter. And by [...]

THE SILVER LINING

By Julie | Published: April 23, 2013
When we Minnesotans flung wide our curtains this mid-spring morning, here is the sight that greeted our winter-weary selves: For, perhaps, the umpteen-thousandth time this April Now, if this had been a January morning, or even a March one, I would have had a much easier time soaking in the crisp, shimmering, truly stunning beauty [...]

OUR DISCLAIMER

By Julie | Published: April 13, 2013
Please be especially nice to us Minnesotans right now. Yes, we might be a little extra crabby lately. Or confused. Disoriented. We might wander off in the middle of a sentence now and then. We might be downright whiny. But that's because here we are...

I. CAN’T. TAKE. MUCH. MORE.

By Julie | Published: March 25, 2013
It is officially spring, and yet, here we sit. Locked in a world of ice and snow and frigid cold. Covered in frost..... Help!

By Julie | Published: April 9, 2012
Today R-girl played the first six innings of the next 600 or so we will have this spring, summer, and fall, and tomorrow is R-boy’s first Little League practice, which means of course that the weather has now dropped back down to regular Minnesota temps (none of those 60s, 70s, or 80s for us ballgame [...]

BLINDINGLY BEAUTIFUL

By Julie | Published: March 14, 2012
I do not know what planet I am currently living on. Today I wore a short sleeve shirt and was not cold. In March. In Minnesota. Me. The girl who is officially not warm enough until it’s at least 80 degrees. The girl who has been seen wearing scarves in June. For warmth. Granted, I [...]

TWEETING AWAY

By Julie | Published: February 9, 2012
Yesterday R-girl interrupted my writing trance with a sudden: “SHHHHHH! …….I hear birds….” I had to disappoint her by revealing that she was actually hearing the online “relaxation station” I was playing on my computer, which features a subtle nature track behind the music. Including birds that sound exactly like summer. Perhaps it will make her feel [...]
