Posted on August 3, 2013 by Hannah

Lately we’ve been taking lots of bike rides, because we want to explore this city beyond the scope of what we can easily walk.  Lately we’ve been appreciating how much DC clears out in the evenings, and on lazy Sunday … Continue reading →

“I’m a little drunk on you and high on summertime.”

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Hannah

Summer came, and we all drank lemonade.

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Hannah

Hey y’all, summer’s here. You might protest that statement if you are a season purist, one who believes that summer starts on the official date of June 21st, but I am someone who knows that summer doesn’t always fit in … Continue reading →

This is how adults have snow days.*

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Hannah

The Harbingers of Spring…maybe.

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Hannah

Dear Spring, Hi there.  I know it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, but this is just a friendly note to say COME BACK NOW. Or else. I was pretty sure there for awhile that you were … Continue reading →

This is my winter song to you.

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Hannah

Unless the child in you is entirely dead…

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Hannah
