anna pieka valentine: what? it's the middle of what? june? THE MIDDLE OF JUNE?
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-its-middle-of-what-june-middle-of.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Sunday, June 14, 2009. It's the middle of what? THE MIDDLE OF JUNE? Not that this is news to anyone who knows me, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist/procrastinator. This here blog (this poor, neglected. Is proof. I wait around for the muse, for something worthy of a post, but then a month has gone by. Sometimes pie is a good enough reason to post, but other days it all just strikes me as too mundane. Or too scandalous (or simply Not Mine to Share) for a public audience. As the ear...

anna pieka valentine: more fun with rocks
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2010/03/more-fun-with-rocks.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Saturday, March 13, 2010. More fun with rocks. The baby I've been taking care of is now 15 months old. (That whole thing about how quickly they grow up is cliche for good reason.) I've tried to stay connected with the girls I was with for the previous five years, and had a lunch date with the older one last weekend. but we weren't hungry. She seemed a bit perplexed when I said that that would be perfect. :). And then, "what about you smell like a zucchini. Which is how we ended ...

anna pieka valentine: and now it's july
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2009/07/and-now-its-july.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Thursday, July 9, 2009. And now it's july. How I wish I could share photos and video clips of the baby here when I'm the mama, I will. it's just hard to be patient about it sometimes. I have the nanny version of "always a bridesmaid.". I'm happy and busy and distracted and sleepy and twitterpated. Grateful for a very fun weekend, looking forward to ever more fun and spontaneity, dreaming up little getaways and parties and surprises and adventures. July 10, 2009 at 8:56 AM. I'm A...

anna pieka valentine: grand finale
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2009/02/grand-finale.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Saturday, February 14, 2009. This past week was the last regular week that I'll spend with 'my girls'. Wednesday was the last full day that I spent with them, and it was a really good day. Imagine how much it would make your day if a little bitty voice called and said, "Um, do tapeworms wive in Indiana? No" This cracked us up, and I said, "Well, that's probably because we don't eat hamburgers! The girls had scooted their chairs together and B had- with the ONE permanent marker o...

anna pieka valentine: Helloooooooo, chocolate pie!
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2009/05/helloooooooo-chocolate-pie.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Sunday, May 17, 2009. Helloooooooo, chocolate pie! I just made this pie. You should pretty much make one, too. It's obscenely rich and chocolately, and (believe it or not. I've already had my fill just from licking the mixing spoon and the inside of the blender. (How's that for a visual? So, here's the scoop:. That's right. It's chocolate tofu pie. Pour the mixture into the crust and LICK THE SPOON. Oh, that's lovely. I guess tofu has some uses, after all :). By the way, Anna, I...

anna pieka valentine: ode to spring
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2009/04/ode-to-spring.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Saturday, April 4, 2009. I've been holding out until April to share this poem one of my favorite poems, by one of my favorite poets. When faces called flowers float out of the ground. And breathing is wishing and wishing is having-. But keeping is downward and doubting and never. It's april(yes,april;my darling)it's spring! Yes the pretty birds frolic as spry as can fly. Yes the little fish gambol as glad as can be. Yes the mountains are dancing together). I did finish the monke...

anna pieka valentine: another springy favorite
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2009/04/another-springy-favorite.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Here's another favorite, which I found in The Pooh Bedside Reader, but which is actually from The House at Pooh Corner:. Noise, by Pooh. Oh, the butterflies are flying,. Now the winter days are dying,. And the primroses are trying. And the turtle-doves are cooing,. And the woods are up and doing,. For the violets are blue-ing. Oh, the honey-bees are gumming. On their little wings, and humming. That the summer, which is coming. And the cuckoo isn't cooing,.

anna pieka valentine: hoop love!
http://annapiekavalentine.blogspot.com/2010/07/hoop-love.html
Stars in the tree tops *. Sunday, July 11, 2010. Not too long ago, I saw this video on Boho's blog. And yesterday a new friend taught me to hula with her homemade hoop. I was instantly hooked! I went to a couple of stores, but the cheap, flimsy hoops that I found were very sad. I couldn't get them to do what they're supposed to do. and for the first time ever, I blamed the hoop instead of my body. So, I looked online and found DIY instructions. Http:/ forlots.blogspot.com/.

Stars in the tree tops *. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Southern Indiana is rather lovely. I started writing this entry long ago, and am finally revisiting, revising, and posting it! A few weeks ago, Matt and I took a little trip down to New Harmony I had been there twice before and wanted to show him around, but there were some fabulous surprises in store for both of us. New Harmony is lovely, but we also found two other spot just a little farther South that made us EXTRA-SPECIAL happy. After exploring Twi...
