		<title>breaking the long silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things, as we know, don&#8217;t always go as planned. The big news around these parts is that I&#8217;m pregnant, expecting a baby in October. That&#8217;s not the unplanned element; the unplanned part was the way in which this situation (and all the accompanying ailments, small and large) coincided with a terribly hot spring that has [...]]]></description>

		<title>birds : new life birds at Greenbelt Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After being woken up early this morning, we decided to make the most of it and go for a birding walk (something we haven&#8217;t done in months). We first headed to Lake Artemesia, and kept on driving when we saw a park ranger directing people into the lot and a big sign announcing a fishing [...]]]></description>

		<title>garden : irises!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the lovely purple bearded irises. The purple irises against the side of the house. I love irises. There&#8217;s something about them that I find jaunty, and jauntiness is a quality I value highly in a flower. Also, they grow by the sides of ponds and lakes and in swamps, so I enjoy them [...]]]></description>

		<title>garden : daffodils!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The varieties of daffodils that bloomed in March and April, mostly unidentified. A friend of ours acquired so many spring bulbs with the house they purchased that every time she wants to move or remove or plant something in her yard, she unearths dozens of bulbs. Since other parts of the yard are invariably already [...]]]></description>

		<title>garden : spring is popping up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always exciting to see the first daffodil buds, particularly since I&#8217;ve moved the bulbs and as a result am never sure I&#8217;m going to get flowers. This year I have crocuses in the little bed I created by the lamp post, so even if I did plant them too deeply (as I suspect) they&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>snowed in for Presidents&#8217; Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had planned to visit my family in Ontario this weekend, but with the three feet of snow we&#8217;ve gotten in the DC area this week, we postponed that trip until after the thaw. Which is good, because the weather they&#8217;re getting on the other side of the Lakes this week is likely to swoop [...]]]></description>

		<title>birds : holiday visit to Lake Artemesia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a completely gray and rainy Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful clear weather to walk around Lake Artemesia. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I was up there; they&#8217;ve completely repaved and widened the path around the lake, and have removed at least one tree the roots of which were growing up through [...]]]></description>

		<title>food : cooking goals for 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So far, I have only a couple of cooking goals for the year. One, I want to learn to cook dried beans in my slow cooker. Two, I want to learn to make pizzas. Neither of these will seem like major challenges to most of you, I&#8217;m sure, but they are things that I&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year&#8217;s Eve movie fest of flops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had great plans to take advantage of Netflix&#8217;s online movie service to create a theme night for New Year&#8217;s Eve, when we watch movies in order to keep our minds off of how sleepy we&#8217;re getting as we wait for midnight to arrive. This year, the theme was going to be &#8216;World War II [...]]]></description>

		<title>the mindfulness oracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year we celebrated the new year with the Still Water folks at a New Year&#8217;s Day brunch. The highlight of the event is the visit from the mindfulness oracle (or maybe The Mindfulness Oracle), who delivers what you need in the new year via chapters from the Tao Te Ching. Apparently, what I need [...]]]></description>
