Seems that all of my minimal creative summer energy leaches into my weekly column. So enjoy!

I’ll blog again some day. Happy solstice, June, and Independence Day!

I haven’t even had time to post a link to my column this week! Here it is, wishing everyone’s favorite plastic toy a happy 50th.

We’re back from the beach–sun, sand, beer and too much red meat punctuated by sick children, family tension, and sunburn. Overall, a great trip!

Not to complain about adding on to my house, but…I’m going to complain about adding on to my house. We came back to no bathroom (supposed to be completely remodeled in our absence–ha!) and drywall dust covering everything. It even seeped into the kitchen drawers. Incredible. I was trying to find one room that hasn’t been impacted by the renovation–just one. It doesn’t exist. Even the screen porch is loaded with tools and wall plaster. My desk is covered with glass tiles, earth plaster samples, and marble soap shelves. Did I mention that there’s drywall dust everywhere?

Enough of that.

I missed being in touch here. Tell me what’s been happening?

Next weekend, you must all attend one of two events in Asheville: the Time for our Power Women’s Conference and/or the Ashevillage Building Convergence. More about both soon!

Happy Sunday!

This week’s column is in memory of Edie Burke, a remarkable child. And in honor of my amazing community of neighbors and friends.

Biscuit and the ocean

I’m beaching it, so there won’t be many updates here for the next week or so. But you should be out in the sun playing as well, instead of reading dull bloggies.

Ah, summer…

Into the ocean

Last full day of school today for my kidlings. So summer’s here. Hurrah! I think. Here’s my Mt. X column talking bout it all.

What are your summer plans with kids?
