these are the roads i've been trodding

Makes it kinda hard to return to the "real" world.

I want to tell the whole story of our adventures up in the northern lands.

Right now blogging doesn't somehow appeal. But I'll be back!

beyond my wildest dreams

hi friends. i have been waiting to post this for a long time now. i start to think about what i will write in this post all the time, and i get really nervous and excited, so guess what...i'm just going to blurt it out, finally, right now, with a huge explosion of mental and spiritual fireworks like a parade's calliope in the sky: I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!! for anyone who doesn't know our background i'll try to put it simply: we have been trying for a really.really.really. long time. a loooonnnng time. i have had countless conversations with friends and loved ones in which i have said, "i just know it is going to happen for us somehow, someday." i tried never to be too concerned or make it a big negative stressful deal in our lives. but you probably all know or intuit how badly we want to be parents; i feel like it is blatantly and utterly obvious. luckily i never had the kind of experience where i struggled emotionally when those i loved got pregnant ...

Polly in Petaluma

In January, things tend to feel a little bleak. This year January's climate and political events have filled many hearts with dismay, and I, like so many others, logged off Meta platforms to keep my soul intact. I am finding beauty in my small world, and while I will never ignore the world's problems and will ALWAYS support my fellow humans in the fight for dignity and complete liberation...I will also build peace right here in my own life.  Luckily in our family we kick off the new year and the "dark season" with birthdays! Namely one bright, beautiful, creative little eleven year old: our own Polly Diana, born January 5, I was so glad Polly asked to go stay one night at our favorite little French hotel in Petaluma for her birthday. A day at the beach and a night at the Metro was just what we needed.  It's a two and a half hour drive straight to Point Reyes Station where we immediately go to Palace Market to stock up on picnic supplies, then across the street t...
