guess who's gonna be a mom with me?!


i've been waiting to announce this until she was ready....
my sister is pregnant too!!!
you can read ade's epic blog post catching up the last year or so of her life and including this incredible news.
she is due in mid january so our babies are going to be exactly six months apart in age.
as you probably know, we are only fourteen months apart and best friends. we grew up really super close, almost like twins, and always dreamed of having babies together.
it started to seem like kind of a dim possibility over these last few years; well guess what....
dreams come true!

this is the only photo i have of us being pregnant together so far. 
it was taken at my baby shower with our other two friends who are pregnant too.


of course, there's me, due right NOW, mary is due in october, elsie is due right after christmas, and addie is due in january.
we've got a little baby boom going on round here :)

How wonderful. You and your sis will have so much support and understanding for each other. Me and my sisters also had a wonderufl time nursingbabies together, there was three of us at once, I remember sitting round the stove at my dads with our three babies, knowing this was the one most bonding moments of our lives.
Magical.

Thanks for your sweet words! My older sister and I were pregnant for a few months together before she had my nephew in November! I'm so excited to be moms together. I think that's so special that you and your sister get to share that too! Best wishes to you these last few days...it's so hard to be patient, but I guess we're about to get the best reward! :)

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here!

handmade homes take to the open road

i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep
