We’re getting to a place where we need to rethink our systems. Pretty much all of them: homesteading, parenting, the shop, our creative endeavors, our eating habits…what we thought was a goal is now either satisfied or will not come to be. I’m not one to think of success or failure as measures — theContinue reading “The Happenings on Tuesday: Redeux”

Somedays it is hard to tell if they are growing pains or growing pleasants but I’m going to focus on the latter today. We’ve seen some lovely developments of character, community, and focus happening inspiring us to be able to move forward. We did some amazing networking last week with a group who understand theContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Growing”

They say the sturgeon will be back, The Great Race atContinue reading “Happenings on a Tuesday”

It seems at some level this season, all ofContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Bring on the snow”
