Well, it's about time...

Shoosh, well that took a while. It's hard to Blog when the summer has you in it's sweet grip, although it's not really that long since I last put pen to this paper, I realize that I may have lost a lot of you. So, my apologies, please forgive my tardiness.

So now, although it's hard to believe, the insidious hand of Autumn is tentatively reaching its tentacles back into our little valley.

It's been a strange & difficult summer, some changes have been made; I have left my job of 7 years reluctantly due to many circumstances in my control & beyond, & will be starting a new one with Telluride Woodworks on Monday. Kathleen is still dealing with the dreaded daemon of Meningitis from time to time & school is just around the corner. She is putting her nose to the grindstone of the new school year & is getting ready for new students, 6:30 rising & the trials & tribulations of the Tea Ching.

Rowan starts 1st grade & seems to have a bit of anxiety, he has told me he is a little scared & we have talked about courage

and growing up and other such scary stuff. Not a man to be pessimistic however, he is revelling in the idea of the oncoming winter. His favourite season he says...

Here is a list of the summer:

Bears
Rain
Small jobs
Solar Power!

Yummy farm food
Worm Compost
More Bears
Swimming
Biking
Hiking
Camping

More soon, stay tuned...
P.S. I'll have a new slideshow soon, I pinky promise.
P.P.S. please take the time to vote in our poll, the data are being sent to a very prestigious university where they will be used to pick the next president.
