I think we’ll continue the summer theme from last week, and focus on one of the best parts of the season: summer berries. Care to stain your fingers (and teeth) with me?

Wren is in transit today, high above our heads. This week, let’s look out some windows at high altitude… and then write. Don’t have a ticket? Never fear, I’ve collected some window views right here.

Three Things: The Late Winter Edition
I haven’t acknowledged the weather at all this season. Perhaps I hoped it would come and go in a quick and painless manner this year, or maybe I was afraid that looking in its direction would somehow goad the beast into a further fury. Today, though, I’m in the mood to look it straight in the eye. Winter: hello, you.
