A good day to make bread | Non Compos Mentis Mama

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2011/01/02/a-good-day-to-make-bread

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. A good day to make bread. January 2, 2011. The world is sunstruck and frozen, and it’s a perfect day to stay inside, feed the woodstove, and make bread. I found a recipe for amazing and super easy artisan bread in Mother Earth News. Last year, and have enjoyed it many times since. Today, I thought I’d make it for dinner, to pair with a butternut squash soup. Recipe I found on my friend Alana’s fabulous food blog. And stay tuned for her book, coming out soon!

Of stone-age babies and the victim I am not | Non Compos Mentis Mama

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/of-stone-age-babies-and-the-victim-i-am-not

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. Of stone-age babies and the victim I am not. January 31, 2011. Erica Jong got it wrong. I am a victim. I am the type of mother who has “the most to lose by accepting (a) ‘noble savage’ view of parenting, with its ideals of attachment and naturalness.”. All this, you see, because I am a follower of “Attachment Parenting.”. If mother puts me down I will starve or freeze or become lion food. That there aren’t any lions lurking nearbythey just. They must be with ...

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/newtons-3-laws-explained-in-poetry

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. Newton’s 3 Laws, explained in poetry. October 20, 2009. Above: an exuberant Graysen exploring at the Bisti Badlands, in northern New Mexico. As the outing drew to a close, one of our scientist friends remarked that Gray is proof that there is. Such a thing as perpetual motion…. The following was written by my grandfather to help his students remember Newton’s three laws of motion. Decades later, it is still helpful to budding scientists. Ramsay L. Harris.

More Grandpa… | Non Compos Mentis Mama

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/more-grandpa

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. October 8, 2008. My mom called me one November afternoon two years ago to tell me the strange, unsettling news. Well, Grandpa arrived today, she said. Yes, and he’s kind of heavy. An awkward silence ensued. I had to sign for him she continued. Now he’s here, on the dryer. Have a use. Someday. After my mother moved my grandparents into assisted living, she cleaned out their house and found: several cardboard boxes full of empty film canisters, 50 years...Towar...

It’s time to ramble on…. | Non Compos Mentis Mama

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/its-time-to-ramble-on

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. It’s time to ramble on…. May 26, 2013. And now, as I sit here with Robert Plant wailing in my head, I must say that it’s time for me to go. When I started Non Compos Mentis Mama I had the intent of writing a bunch about parenting–stories of raising my 4, thoughts and theories, etc. And I certainly did a lot of that over the years. I re-published installments from the column I wrote for the. New Mexico Free Press. And becoming a chicken mama. So though there i...

Why I read | Non Compos Mentis Mama

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/why-i-read

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. February 6, 2013. For my Literature for a Living Planet class I wrote the following, as a response to Terry Tempest William’s “Why I Write.”. So…why do you read? Why do you write? The word coalesced in my mind and I blurted it out. I could feel my mother’s smile in the darkness, and I smiled too as she hugged me. I was 4 years old. I read because of sentences that stun:. And each successive shot was another loud, fateful rap on the door of my undoing. I read ...

Meet the new girls on the block | Non Compos Mentis Mama

https://noncomposmentismama.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/meet-the-new-girls-on-the-block

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. Meet the new girls on the block. April 6, 2011. Our family has grown! Yesterday I received the long anticipated phone call from the post office to let me know that our chicks had arrived. It was a surreal and amazing moment when the rather confused postal employee brought out a little box that was peeping. We opened it on the spot, to make sure everyone survived the journey, then walked out under the gaze of many questioning eyes. Here is Mira’s chick, ...

Non Compos Mentis Mama. Welcome to my planet. Creativity and Patience 365 Creative: January 12 & 13. January 13, 2012. I took this picture yesterday, after I pulled the benefit pendants out of the kiln. See those kiln pegs to the right? They’re so hot they’re glowing! Hard to tell with B&W, I know. So this is 48 hours in 365 creative days. Best get back to it now. More photos when it’s all said and done and I have my camera back! It’s been in the shop, thus the crappy cell phone pics!
