It's been a long time since I've written, but I'm still here living on Shady Grove Farm. I'm older and it shows in my mobility and this hasn't been the best year for me physically. But, I'm not in dire straits.
I am confounded by the redundancy of my life, but seem unable to make major changes. Perhaps I'm not meant to. I'm still knitting and reading, and cleaning house. I can't complain. I want to complete at least 14 dishcloths prior to christmas. I need 8 more.
I rarely leave the farm still. I'm a real hermit. I think I must have lived another life as a medieval anchorite.
My youngest daughter has been married for a year now. Tempus fugit.
I tried a college class on writing poetry. It was online. The information was good, but I loathed the online approach in so many ways.
I do come here and read. Thus, I know what y'all been up to. I have also acquired an online reading partner with whom I read and discuss books. Have read a lot of classics I'd missed through the years.
Did the lady who lived in Washington who was so tech savvy, had a black cat that ate things.... (I can't remember her name). Did she move to Dreamweaver. I do have an account there, but don't read much or write there.
Maybe I can add writing in LJ back into the "things I do" category of my life. We'll have to wait and see.
