Raccoon napping in the Atlas cedar

Can you see why some days I don’t get much done? My home is surrounded by such marvelous bits of nature, and I confess I get sucked up into awe.

Perfect Ending

by Leila on May 29, 2009

I am going to bed tonight with glitter and confetti in my hair. It would be dumb to ask for anything more than that.

More robberies in my neighborhood.

May 29, 2009

Thumbnail image for Where the heck have I been?

This. This. This is why you haven’t hear a peek from me for a long while.
