Release the St Bernards.. | American Alconleigh
https://americanalconleigh.wordpress.com/2015/01/26/release-the-st-bernards
Release the St Bernards. January 26, 2015. January 26, 2015. Have generators, and could probably survive until the summer. We never really felt the need for such unattractive, cacophonous pieces of machinery. Rather seemed a bit doomesday prepper for our lifestyle. If our house ever fails to provide for us we simply close the door and go to another. But now our little upturned noses will be frostbitten because the snow will have us trapped here to face our folly. Blizzard of ’78. I’ve been reading ...

I Went to Olly’s to See Rufus. August 27, 2014. August 28, 2014. I was reminded of an echo of that feeling when I spent the night at the Oliver Wight house. He spent several years wandering up and down the East Coast with his painting gear. He did some portraits but the bulk of his work was on the walls of private homes and public hostelries exchanging work for lodging. At some point in his travels, he stopped into an Inn in Massachusetts where, almost 200 years later, Bebe would rest her head. Is sendin...

December 4, 2014. She smiled pleasantly. “That’s 40 euros, please” Quickly and efficiently change was made and tickets were delivered. Another smile. “Thank you, Merci.”. Then, suddenly, we were standing on the Pont Neuf, the Eiffel Tower to our right, Notre Dame allowing herself to be observed to our left, and the Seine flowing under our feet. Paris comes at you all at once. Outside our apartment, Quai des Grands Augustins. Heavy, ornately carved ancient stone soars into the sky. Notre Dame, during mass.

https://americanalconleigh.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/quoth-the-raven-nevermore
Quoth the raven Nevermore. October 9, 2014. October 9, 2014. It has begun. The sky is a bright blue, the oblique sunlight is dazzling and the wind, our own mistral, swirls and gusts through the colorful branches and carries orange, red, and yellow confetti along in a carefree aerial dance. I just raked that area yesterday. Pick some, eat some. Blue sky, red apples. Apple picking in central MA. Pumpkin apple bread, freshly made this very morning. The Talking Crow on Etsy. Typically not a fan of the macabr...

I am bebe;. So now I want to join the fray and hopefully my humble scratchings will add to the this network of raconteurs and raconteuses. I hope to keep it short and pithy, but I cannot make any promises at this point. By way of an explanation of the title I will say that I had something of a Mitford-ian upbringing , a theme which I will return to throughout this blog. Although my life is a lot more typical now, you can take the girl out of Alconleigh…….et cetera. Buttons for the enjoyment of my readers:.

OOTD: Indicators Of My Descent Into Madness OR Why I Want to Be Baldric | American Alconleigh
https://americanalconleigh.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/ootd-indicators-of-my-decent-into-madness-or-why-i-want-to-be-baldric
OOTD: Indicators Of My Descent Into Madness OR Why I Want to Be Baldric. February 17, 2015. March 5, 2015. Those of you that follow me on social media are forgiven for reading the title of this post as a deconstruction of a Gore-Tex and Polarfleece ensemble with handwarmers and Bean boots. My Instagram has been a venue for my winter griping and twitter and pinterest have served the same purpose. But today I am going in a different direction, though still somewhat (indirectly) blizzard related. Of course,...

March 11, 2015. I love the little foot on this one:. And I was correct. I have absolutely no practical use for them. I buy so many littles, that I have run out of jobs for them. I already have one for my ring:. My parents brought this back for me from one of their trips out West). One for my pearls:. One for my daily spritz:. A dainty little dish from Monticello). One for my mad money:. A handmade gift from my offspring). One for my lotion. They obviously won’t do as a fruit bowl. I am an inveterate coll...
