I've been puzzling over where time has gone recently, figuring I must have been rather busy with real life things that have kept me from the Internets. Nope. Can't think of anything.
I know I've been spending more time out here, on the porch. So much time that I apparently haven't had a spare moment to sew up the cafe curtains for the windows. Bah. Very white, though, no? I got the little table and chairs (one is just outside the shot, with Booty's basket on top) from a Craigslist seller. The door into the house is just to the left of the photo, and my little Ikea armchair is on the other side. That's where I park myself for hours at a time, listening to the radio, reading, drinking tea, and generally mulling things over.
I've also been working out in the yard, although I have very little to show for it. Well, there's a 6'x10' hole that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago, but I still haven't planted any veggies, despite saying I was going to the garden center every day this week. Maybe today tomorrow.
I've been eating simply; I think I would have soup and bread for every meal, if I could keep myself in homemade soup for long enough. You may have noticed that I stopped updating the Lunchtime blog -- quite a while ago, in fact. I want to wrap that up in a different package, so it doesn't seem like something I abandoned but rather more of a mini-feature.
So, in short, I've been feeling rather distracted lately, though I can't say by what. I blame that armchair on the porch. It forces me to sit still and dwell on how good life is.
there's nothing wrong with taking a brain breather. but I do love hearing about your cooking/crafting adventures! so take as many breaks as you need (just as long as there's a tiny blog entry every few days... ;)

I think everyone's feeling it. The weather is so nice now, it's just begging to be savored. It's fun documenting life and sharing it with others, but sometimes we just have to concentrate on experiencing it. Have a wonderful day, Anna. Enjoy your armchair!
