A few readers have expressed concern about the blog silence. My apologies! We're all doing fine except we're still slammed with getting this massive tankard order out the door. We hope to ship off the last pieces this upcoming Thursday, at which point we will heave an enormous sigh of relief.
To top things off, my writing schedule suddenly multiplied. I sent off a proposal (synopsis + three chapters) to my Harlequin editor Thursday morning, and did a podcast interview for Mother Earth News on Thursday afternoon, and now I'm working on a Countryside article which is due Tuesday. I also have at least two articles I need to submit to Backwoods Home Magazine as soon as possible, and two more articles due early next month for Backyard Poultry Magazine. This is, of course, on top of the usual morning milking and afternoon barn-cleaning schedule.
Older Daughter's finger is still painful, but it's healing well. There's a ligament or tendon in there that catches her with a snap of pain when she stretches out her hand too fast, but the finger itself isn't causing any direct pain and there was no infection thanks to the emergency room physician who did a good job cleaning it, and Older Daughter's diligent after-care of the wound.
Thank you for understanding about the dearth of blog posts. More later!
Mother Earth News! I didn't know that magazine was still around. I have a couple of copies of v1n1 - the paper covers. I think I have every one of the first 3 or 4 years also laying around here someplace ... along with a 1970 copy of Whole Earth Catalog. Unfortunately I've lost the first 3 Foxfire books that went with them. Replacing them now wouldn't be the same ... I'd want to "smell" the 70s in them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Enjoy reading your blog. (Just reading your description of everything you have been doing makes me tired!!) God bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Life happens. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I'll be here when you come back.

Without sounding too flippant: Don't sweat it! Having several times in my career been responsible for only a weekly column in our local newspaper (while doing a full time job and raising a family) I can appreciate the pressures of a blog like yours' with life thrown in the mix. We all appreciate what you post: whenever you post it!
