You never realize how many books you have until you start packing.

(This is but the tip of the iceberg.)

While we are thus occupied, Rilla suggests you go check out Karen Edmisten’s latest post, which quotes our favorite passage from one of our favorite books.

Also, it’s Crock Pot Week at Cooking With Whine.

  2. Karen E. says:

    What a babydoll! I can see she is supremely qualified to man Command Central. :-)

  3. JoVE says:

    Completely beside the point, but I was wondering recently if that beautiful wee girl is named Rilla for Rilla of Ingleside?

  4. Anne V. says:

    I was just going to let you know we were lacking in the picture department, but figured you were a little busy.
    Rilla is so cute! You guys have the most beautiful kids!
    Good luck with your adventure!

  5. K says:

    What a sweet little girl! I can’t believe how big she has already grown.

    I’m glad to see she has this moving thing totally under control!

Hey, what happened to all those booklists you used to have in your sidebars?

They're still accessible at melissawiley.typepad.com, where this blog lived from January 2005-March 2008. You can also find all my Lilting House posts there, or try the search bar here. All my previous Bonny Glen and Lilting House posts have been imported to this site.

A Word about How I Blog

Every day is complicated, messy, and full of friction. And every day has glorious or cozy moments worth celebrating. I seldom bother to chronicle the friction and the mess because writing time is fleeting and precious—and childhood even more so. I’d rather capture the small joys that I might forget—or take for granted—if I don’t take time to set them down in words.

(Excerpt from this post about Real Life, quoted here because I don't want anyone to be under the impression that things are always perfect around here! Heaven knows we are anything but. Perfect, frictionless, orderly? Nope. Happy? Most of the time!)

Be Like the Bird


Be like the bird
Who, pausing in flight
On limb too slight,
Feels it give way beneath her,
Yet sings,
Knowing she has wings.
