It’s nearly afternoon, and I finished the coffee pot an hour ago, but what the heck. Man, did I sleep late this morning. I’ve been dragging badly all week, so I decided to let my body decide when to wake up this morning. I went to sleep around 11 p.m. I woke up a little…

I’ve been quiet lately. I haven’t felt the urge to express myself in words. It’s partly that I don’t feel like getting on the computer after spending so much time at work and in class on the computer, which makes it tough to do homework. It’s partly that I’m depressed with a resurgence of grief…

Normally I would have come and gone from the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market by now, perhaps with a stop afterwards at McKnight’s Hardware or Bryant Hardware or Deep Roots Market, but my rally from my cold took a back turn with an earache and headache this morning, so I slept late and I’m staying in.…

Just starting my second cup. I have a lot planned for this weekend. Today Sandy and I are going to start our special project for the back of the Back Forty, since the weather is supposed to be beautiful all weekend. Actually, I’d prefer rain and lots of it, but we’ll take advantage of the…

We got lucky in Greensboro yesterday – two lines of intense storms passed to our north and south, making the temperature cool enough to be bearable at the outdoor wedding I attended in Brown Summit late in the day. It was a particularly beautiful and joyful wedding, I thought. The couple went all out for…

Funny that I’ve chosen to blog on a morning after a 12 hour headache – especially since this blog is very much about choices. I never claimed to always make the right choice, though. And funny that I don’t have much to say after three weeks, but what I usually do is just start typing…

I’m braising a pork shoulder roast that I bought from Bradd’s pastured pig farm. He’s the guy who feeds his pigs the leftover whey from Goat Lady Dairy. I bought this a while back and I’m trying to clean out my fridge some. This will feed us both for a couple of days, I hope.…

Man, aren’t three-day weekends the greatest? If we ever get the option of working four 10-hour days, I think that I’ll go for it. The coffee is almost gone already because I’ve spent most of my time so far reading emails and comments! Whew! These two discussion groups are terrific (the other one is “thecreativelife”)!…

It is getting harder and harder to post here, because for one, I am art journaling on actual PAPER (yes, it does still exist) and two, every time I get online I am totally distracted by this wonderful new Yahoo group that just started. Everyone is excited and enthusiastic and it is very busy with…

And….we’re back. We rolled in at midnight, after deciding over plates of fried seafood at Dale’s that we’d really be happier at home this weekend. Sandy was bored, the weather was rather hot and muggy, and I reached the point where I was thinking more about Sandy being unhappy than my pleasure. I was ready,…
