Sarah at saipua tagged me for some randomness, so, here goes:

Turns out, when I have my hair done up exceptionally fancy and loads of make-up on, some folks think I look like S.P.. This is a comparison I don’t take lightly. 

It’s a new day, America. It’s an historic time to be living in this country, participating in this experiment in democracy. We’ve got a long way to go, but at least it now seems like all hands are on deck. I’ve never seen so much awareness and participation in the shaping and formation of American government as I have in recent months. According to polls in numerous countries across the globe, this is the outcome that was hoped for. It’s an exciting time.

Here it is! Evidence of the photo shoot that happened yesterday out here. This picture was captured by the lovely and amazing Nicole, the best friend and editor a gal could ever hope for. Lynne Harty and her intrepid assistant Daniel took some truly stunning pictures of chickens and eggs and their accoutrement in every assorted manner. I’m in a couple of them, too. And Fly and Dexter made a cameo! Chris, Lark‘s creative director extraordinaire, worked his magic later in the day. Glenn made a roasted veggie soup that is the stuff of dreams, which we wolfed down alongside equally rhapsodic egg-salad sandwiches and hard cider. The weather and chickens couldn’t have been more cooperative. All in all a wonderful day.
