Have you started spring cleaning yet? Or do you spread the tasks out over the year so you don’t have to partake in this springtime ritual? Spreading out the cleaning makes more sense when one’s time and energy resources aren’t what they used to be (um, like me?). However, there is something rather satisfying about…

Andrew Bird “Roma Fade” (From “Are You Serious”) Andrew Bird has been so reliably consistent throughout his career that I admit I occasionally take his work for granted. A couple weeks ago, his stunning collaboration with Fiona Apple (“Left Handed Kisses”) shook me from that complacency and reminded me that he is one of…
Apple Fritter Bread ~ Pinterest Recipe Review
I like donuts. I mean, I really, really like donuts. Or croissants. Or apple fritters. Sadly, for some reason totally beyond my comprehension, the donut shops in our town have the weirdest hours. They are open 11:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. That’s right. You have to be out in the middle of the night if…

ANOHNI “Drone Bomb Me” (From “HOPELESSNESS”) I chose ANOHNI’s “4 Degrees” as my second favorite song of 2015. This, the second single released from the upcoming full-length, is every bit as emotionally devastating and sonically rich. ANOHNI has said that it is written from the perspective of a young girl whose family has been…
Dark Chocolate Cranberry Scones ~ Pinterest Recipe Review
I had planned to make these Dark Chocolate Cranberry Scones Sunday evening to enjoy along with the final episode of Downton Abbey but I didn’t have enough dark chocolate and didn’t feel like going to the store. So I made them Monday night, instead. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of half and half…
Being True to Myself
It wasn’t an easy decision but I’ve decided to ignore a lot of the blogging advice out there and just be true to myself. This may be a mistake but it’s a risk I am willing to take. I’m in a small blogging group and each month we fill in our blog and social media…
