i've been reading the sweet juniper blog for about 3 years now... something like that. there's a pull beyond the great photos and witty posts that keeps me coming back... some goodness shining out of this little family who shares a part of themselves with the world-wide-web. something that resonates.

it's stuff like this:

"Months ago she had gotten drunk at a charity auction and bid on a week at a cottage in the Adirondacks. She later admitted she didn't quite know where the Adirondacks were, though she knew for certain she liked the chairs. They fall in love with every new city, every town they see on this trip through upstate New York and Vermont. The impetuousness that brought them to the west coast and back still tempts them to try new lives. She starts crying in Middlebury, Vermont, as it hits her that one day she will see her kids off to college. One day they will be gone, he thinks. Someday again it will just be her and me.

Some men see women like these two see towns. They see possibilities in each. They wonder what ifs. But when he sees other women, he can only wonder how lucky he was to find this one when he did."
