The Tunnel of 40, originally uploaded by diahn.
Our life usually moves at a pace that resembles this picture. Fast, furious, and sometimes a little blurry.
Today we took a few minutes to sit around and do nothing important. Dr. SmartyPants watched a Pink Panther movie marathon. I embroidered a few onesies for some [...]

I made a Wordle from my blog. It basically scans your text and makes words larger and smaller based on usage frequency. I was pretty excited to see that “book”, and “love” were prominent.

I’ll admit it. I’ve been hiding. End of school – beginning of the camping season – lack of motivation – whatever… dust is piling up on my art supplies and desks, sketchbooks are laying forlornly around the house. But… I feel a breeze blowing – I’ve got an idea in this head of mine that [...]

We took the very easy hike to Cascade Falls, near the Sugarlands Visitor Center on the Gatlinburg [...]
