Hello again. There's lots I could update you on since the months that Mona has been born; since the farming season has started in earnest; since my season of full-time parenting has started in earnest. But for now I'll just... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow will mark one month since Mona Sage entered the world. Mona came in her own time. I mentioned in my last post that I was hoping to VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), but that my midwifery practice only wanted... Continue Reading →
Happy due date to me! Seeing as there are only four hours left on this last day of February, chances are looking pretty slim that I'll be delivering this baby early or on the due date. Ah, well... I've been... Continue Reading →
We've now been in our house (look, I didn't call it a barn! I think it may well always be a barn in my heart...) for a little over a month. Coincidentally, we also have about a month before my... Continue Reading →
Well, hello again. Remember how I wrote a post in September and apologized for the months that had lapsed since my last post? I believe at the time we had just welcomed some adorable baby chicks to our place. Well,... Continue Reading →
I almost couldn't bring myself to open my laptop and begin a blog entry this evening. It's been so long since I've blogged that the very thought of starting again has felt kind of daunting. I was considering the possibility... Continue Reading →

I'm sitting down to begin this blog post on Mother's Day morning. I'll admit, I'm a bit cynical about Mother's Day. Not that I'm against the idea of celebrating/honoring our mothers--for many of us, mothers (and fathers) do an incredible... Continue Reading →
Life is hopping here. The gardens are exploding with greens and radishes and onions and the accompanying work that comes with such explosions. We're slowly building the general infrastructure we need for our market gardens (irrigation, high tunnel, etc). We've... Continue Reading →
Happy Earth Day! I'll be honest: I often let Earth Day pass me by without noticing, which is kind of ironic given how much of our lives are oriented around land and soil and earth. Given my poor Earth Day... Continue Reading →
For a seminary-trained, (former...at least for now) pastor, my spiritual life probably isn't what some people would expect. I don't have daily prayer or devotional time; I'm an incredibly sporadic journaler, at best; I don't read theology for fun. Sometimes,... Continue Reading →
