The Puffin Poem for Cole
When I was a little girl my mom used to dazzle me with her telling of what my sisters and I fondly and simply referred to as 'The Puffin Poem'. A few weeks ago I had a lot of fun in the car with my two-year-old nephew, Cole, reciting the poem and watching his reaction. The best parts were when he would insert his two-year-old wisdom into the poem. For example, responding to the line '...and felt very lonely, and felt very small' he just shrugged and the stated, 'I'm really small!', and after the poem finished for the first time he sagaciously asserted 'It was sad, but it had a happy ending.' By the end of my weekend with him I'm pretty sure he mostly had the poem memorized, but I decided that when I got home I would make a simple little book for him, so here it is. I've had the same images in my mind for this poem since I was a child, and these simple little drawings don't quite capture what I see in my mind, but they're a pretty general interpretation.

I just found three old drawings while I was looking through files on my computer. Thought I'd share.

Someone should hire me to create business names and create logos because these are obviously fantastic.

Hagiographic Halloween 2011
This year for Halloween I made costumes for both me and Dan.
(To be fair, Dan made the cross on his chest.)
We were St. George and the Dragon!

Vegetable Pot Pie
This is the first time I've ever made crust from scratch, so I'm a little proud of it.

ghee
Let us always cook in
fat rolling bubbles of ghee,
put our faces down
close to the flame
and smell in sweet waves
our sustenance.
Let us not worry about
plump tumbling bellies
or over round arms
strangling drops of juice
out of pomegranate seeds
and açaí berries.
For now let us worry
about the energy we need,
and what we will do with it
when we smelt it
from what we desire inside the
marrow of our bones.
