These Maine winters can be, well, long. I mean, it’s only the end of January, and we’ll probably have snow at least through early April. Think about it. I’m already tired of the cold. The appeal has even worn thin for ElvenTiger, who loves snow. Every day lately, it’s been either very bitterly cold, or […]

Cake of the Month: January, part 1

Published by on January 7, 2011 | 1 Response

My original plan for January’s Cake of the Month was to make ElvenTiger a special cake for her 12th birthday. She requested a layer cake with chocolate and caramel, and I’ve started doing some research. For the most part, I plan to create my own cake recipes, so I can share them on the blog […]

“Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.” – E. M. Forster I’m definitely a chronicler of life, as posts like this one prove, but I’ve also delved into practice. In this case, a daily spiritual practice which includes a three-card daily Tarot reading. I note the day’s cards and events, keeping track of […]
