Just another WordPress.com site. December 9, 2011 in Converting a Used Portable Classroom into a Home. Creativity, Self-Expression, Struggles and Obstacles Overcome. I stood in the near-dark a few nights ago, thrilled to be able to burn a small pile of limbs and dead wood, one of many piles waiting for attention on my property.

Just another WordPress.com site. December 29, 2011 in Uncategorized. Going against the odds. The purple coneflowers have long since given up their blooms, all except this solitary lady, a firecracker of color in a blanket of fallen leaves.

Just another WordPress.com site. A Small Globe of Glass. December 19, 2011 in Uncategorized. Cleaning out the shed. Junk in the shed. Taking myself too seriously. It’s interesting what can happen when you mix sun and rain with one little Christmas ornament. A few weeks ago, I stood outside my storage shed, looking in dismay at all my stuff. It is time to move, time to thin out this packrat’s stash of family artifacts, materials for dream projects, broken lamps, and wind chimes that need re-stringing.
