{see the progress here!} It is hard to disregard all the signs of fall here – the students have returned, the streets are crowded, the tips are smaller and the nights are cooler. Perhaps the biggest sign is the state of my garden; dark and rambling, sprawling across it’s tiny box, throwing about tomatoes and [...]

Weekend – Check In, Check Out
By Andrea in check in check outEvents conspired to make this week feel approximately 35 days long – some in good ways, some in bad. As the tomatoes ripen and the nights get colder we’re coming to the realization that summer is ending – cue fish n’ chips on the patio, swimming in the ocean, cold beer in the warm sun [...]

kempt kitchen: raspberry and blueberry pound cake
By Andrea in kempt kitchenI feel a junkie rush each Saturday morning at the market, slipping my hands over stacks of carrots, fondling spinach leaves and squeezing baby beets. My eyes get cloudy and I can barely hold onto my bagel as we slip from one aisle to the next, Jared laden down with bags as I furiously cram [...]

a traveling song
By Andrea in a life unexamined, loveI put it on a CD for him years ago. It became a song suspended between shitty airport bars and shuttles, an inaudible sign that we were both leaving and moving father away in miles, closer together in measures and notes.

By Andrea in a life unexamined, catch up, resolutionsAt this point it has become tragically obvious that in my dogged and flawed pursuit (and subsequent tragic failure) of this project, I was remiss in mentioning one particular yet key factor: It’s success was entirely dependent upon my discovering the ineffable key to manufacturing time. All my talk of arrows and bows, aims and [...]

a slice
By Andrea in a slice, photographyIt was a quiet weekend filled with waiting. J finally made his way home this weekend, we celebrated his birthday quietly with a carefully crafted dinner and glass of wine together.

A Country Slice
By Andrea in a slice, photography, travelSaskatchewan, in it’s bizarre and barren nothingness, is beautiful. The skies are so big you take them into yourself for 180 degrees, the weather alternately blisters you with heat then cold, and the kindness of strangers often overwhelms. Saskatchewan fills the void with the people that live there, and we spent an amazing 3 days [...]

Friday: Check In, Check Out
By Andrea in UncategorizedWe’re off to Saskatchwan this weekend for a family reunion, to spend four days in the sun, pool and tents. I’m looking forward to the time off, the time with J, and some time to just.. breathe. It’s been a strange and hectic dash through the end of July, and I’m looking forward to 10 [...]
