My sister’s garden is so magical, with ducks and dogs and my little niece running around.
When it rains, which it often does, the sound on the corrugated steel roof reminds me of summers in New England, visiting family. It never rained like that where we grew up.
I recently ran across this advice while doing hundreds of hours of research before adopting a cat: start as you intend to go on. And by recently, I mean over a year ago, around the time I decided to start this blog. The purveyor of said advice, whose identity I have unfortunately forgotten, stumbled upon it herself in a parenting book, but felt it had a broader relevance, and I quite agree. Because while I don’t remember where exactly I heard it, here I sit, one year later thinking yeah! That is how I should start this blog!
