it figures
Sometimes, I can't figure out whether life loves me or hates me. I had an appointment scheduled for 8:45 this morning that I had to cancel at 8:00 am. It took me a long time to get it, too. Of course, it was a gyn appointment so I'm not exactly weepy over the matter, if you know what I mean ( Read more... ) -
have temper, will travel
Yesterday was a good day. The fog lifted and the clouds parted and, for a few moments, I was able to see the goal - my fondest hope, that elusive city on a hill - and move forward with a smile on my face (well, until late in the night).

Also involved would be goats (for making and selling milk and cheese), chickens (why the hell not?), and bees.

off to see the wizard
Off to the elementary school today. The plan? To convert a tired and neglected (but thoroughly loved) courtyard garden into a beautiful, useful retreat full of edible fruits and veggies. Organic style, if possible. I am taking a measuring tape and compass so that I can measure the sun's path through it, too. I hope to begin on this as soon as the ( Read more... )
