Around here…

My mom poked me yesterday about not posting much on here anymore. She said the gaps between entries are getting farther and farther apart, and I know she's right. I hate the idea of this place fading away for me, so I'm determined to get back into the habit....

Tested.

I am always a fan of finding the cosmic order of things. I like to look back at all my troubles, now mere memories, and say "Oh THAT'S why it happened that way…" Even if I'm wrong and it's all just chaos and chance, I feel more spiritually inclined...

Kid/family update and a little about my new rhythm…

I miss writing here more regularly. Now that I don't as often I can tell that writing was a healthy practice for me- it helped me to mentally sort and process what was going on, and there was something about releasing the details of my life that was therapeutic...

WFP: Foraging fun

Wednesday food post! It's been so long!

Spring eating is here and I'm loving every minute of it. There was a point in the middle of winter where I was a little souped-out and we were buying citrus fruit just to make up the difference. We still ate well, but...

Farming, Part 2.

Back at the home site, we've begun our assumption of this new farm, and it sparked a lot of good thought and change. The first big change is the dissolution of our two urban farms into one. We all feel very strongly about each other and this partnership we...

I promised an update on this subject, and the wealth of feelings and changes that accompany it have made it difficult for me to know where to start. I should know better, though. The best way to start is to jump right in and just say what I know,...

Feeling spring.

The maple syruping adventure of 2013 was a great success. We got over 2 gallons! That is, including our snafus. We accidentally mixed coffee heating up and maple syrup finishing on the stove to make one pint of mighty delicious "coffee syrup"....

The cabin.

I got a gift. It was a gift I had trouble receiving, actually, for a number of reasons. But I knew I needed it, so I took it. My nearest and dearest all got their heads together about how to get me some actual rest. You see, my concussion...

Vera is five.

Okay, I know I said I'd write everyday, but who am I kidding? How about just more. More is good. The past couple of days have been fantastic, all told. I needed it, too. I needed a dose of fantastic. But I'll save that for tomorrow and keep this...

Around here.

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last wrote here. Well, that's not entirely true. I write a paragraph here and there all the time and then get interrupted by one thing or another. By the time I make it back here, whatever I...
