Like so many people I know, I've been crazily busy this summer and can't believe how it's flying by. My computer time has been extremely limited as I've been outside and running around with the kids so much. I almost decide to give up this little blog, but I know that once the kids are back in school and I have no one to eat my lunch with that I'll NEED it, so I guess I'll just call this a hiatus and return again in September.
Before I go, I would like to mention 2 things I've been enjoying recently - the band Iron & Wine and Michael Perry's latest book "Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting." Iron & Wine is perfect summer eve music, and the Perry book has "a literary gem on nearly every page" just like the quote on the back of it says. Here's a random paragraph from a random page:
"We begin on the easy path - a mown strip leading to the ridge past the old circular steel corncrib behind the granary. The crib stands empty beneath its rust-streaked galvanized cap, the iron mesh twined around the south side with a few stray ivy runners. For years it has done little more than sift the wind. At sundown it silhouettes against the sky like some ghostly aviary."
And that's just him talking about a corncrib! Awesome.
