		<title>garden : where oh where will the little shrubs go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Red hot poker in front of the pyramid trellis. Lamb&#8217;s ear from a neighbor, planted just ahead of a rare rain. An unforeseen benefit of having a toddler who likes to be outdoors has been an increase in evening gardening. In the past I&#8217;ve been pretty much fed up with working in the yard by [...]]]></description>

		<title>beautiful year for a spring garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our hand-me-down tulips in full bloom. This spring has been an amazing one for the garden! I&#8217;m trying to put aside concerns about extreme weather, greater pests and allergies, and a brutally hot summer and just enjoy having all the spring flowers in bloom at once. Even the flowers in our shady foundation bed benefited [...]]]></description>

		<title>is it spring yet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First bloom of the year, on the new hellebore. Since I&#8217;m now a parent and find myself saying dorky things like &#8220;Lead on, MacDuff!&#8221; and &#8220;it&#8217;s a doggie-dog world&#8221; on a regular basis, I am going to just come out with it: is this thing on? I think I may have hit a record length [...]]]></description>

		<title>food : dairy-free gluten-free apple pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple pie, round two. Never in a million years, after spending years tweaking the ingredients of my pie crust until I had it just the way I like it, did I expect to be attempting to make pies without flour or butter. Never! Yet, here I am, as it wouldn&#8217;t be autumn without apple pie. [...]]]></description>

		<title>becoming the parent of a toddler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can hardly believe the sprout is a year old, and yet he&#8217;s definitely turning into a toddler. He&#8217;s been practicing his tantrums, perfecting the art of going boneless and throwing himself onto the ground to sob when frustrated. Not very often, just frequently enough to let you know there&#8217;s no going back to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>one year ago today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One year ago today I was in labor. All day, from contractions that started in earnest at midnight until the sprout was born at 11:58pm. While my water broke on the evening of the 15th, there is no doubt that the 16th is his Day Of Birth. Despite all of the trying and hoping and [...]]]></description>

		<title>spring birds in the park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been a good spring for seeing birds in our local park. In addition to the pair of Yellow-crowned Night Herons that returns each year, we have two and possibly three pairs of Mallards nesting along the stream. During my morning walks with the sprout, I&#8217;ve seen the usual suspects (Northern Flickers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, [...]]]></description>

		<title>garden : pleasant surprise!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It appears that our pieris plant may actually be a native! I had just assumed that it was the Japanese variety and hadn&#8217;t even really registered that there is a regional alternative. The other day when we were sitting on the porch I noticed that it was covered in bees of all sorts. So we [...]]]></description>

		<title>getting the detergent reek out of thrift store clothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve shopped at thrift stores for myself; since October I have become addicted to thrifting for clothes for the baby. I keep saying I&#8217;m going to stop; what happens instead is that I just become more selective. Now that I&#8217;ve covered the basics, I look for better quality brands and focus [...]]]></description>
