Spring is in bloom

Posted on April 20, 2015 by Erin

I love spring, and April is lovely here in PA. (By the way, that’s how they talk here — they don’t say the name of the state. They say “P-A.” I must be going native.) The pollen utterly kills my … Continue reading →

Prepping for a white Thanksgiving

Posted on November 26, 2014 by Erin

The U.S. East Coast is getting snow today — heavy, wet stuff, the kind that will be a pain to shovel. I don’t have to worry about that at the moment, though. Instead, I am sitting inside, watching the snow … Continue reading →

Posted on August 18, 2014 by Erin
