You won't find them on a shortbread tin, but our ancestors live on so long as we keep telling their stories. Scots, Yanks, Canucks and the Auld Enemy. Newest posts are the ancestors, but scroll for the living.

sparklet has been going through a burst of painting activity lately — dare i say a renaissance?apparently our nanny-share partner (el español caliente) is still on two naps a day, which means that sparket and The Nanny have a dedicated hour and a half for arts and crafts each morning.

we grilled one last time before cleaning and covering, winterized the house, did one last round of gardening, emptied the (we-waited-so-long-the-leaves-are-rotting) basil plants, and put stuff away.
