THIS BLOG MOVING
to here: already out of my handsIt's been real. I've got a few things up at the new place, including photojournaling of my garden. Also a lovely thing called a TAG CLOUD, which I picture as a storm of shiny pricetags and little plastic fasteners, but is prettier (if that's possible), and perhaps the last thing that won me over at Wordpress ( Read more... ) -
