We haven’t had a craft phase in this house in well over a year, but Frederick is making up for lost time. In his last big phase, he made the “Pollan Paintings.” While I was in Seattle, he crafted this paper mache cow. My favorite part is the water balloon udder (pictured below). Technorati Tags:…

She contributes to breakfast and to babysitting
This hen lays nearly an egg a day. When she’s able to get out and scratch for bugs and seeds, she makes eggs high in Omega 3 fatty acids. She is even a babysitter on occasion, as she is in this picture. Technorati Tags: chickens, eggs, Omega 3, photo
View from the hammock
This is my view from the hammock. Last summer my view included a growing belly, this summer those blue eyes. (Yes, he’s nursing in the picture. Please children, avert your eyes.) I do not relax nearly enough even with this great view. Relaxation reduces inflammation in your body. Inflammation may contribute to depression. There are,…

Seeds of Summer
My favorite sunflower from last summer was planted by a bird. It turns out she was prolific. A dozen of her seedlings are growing strong this year. Some will be overtaken by our summer garden, but regardless, there is no “zero population growth” here. We could end up with a hillside full of sunflowers in…
Savoring
In my quest to appreciate, we spent last week taking pictures of Alastair in his sleepers. He can’t wear them with his brace. The sleeper in the picture has angel wings. (Awww, shouldn’t they all?) A key tool in my “appreciating” quest has been the camera. I take it on walks and drives and try…

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
