Walking Back Forward

A great friend and I have been talking a bit lately about taking steps forward, taking steps backward, and some of the subtle differences between the two.  The case in point, of course is our decision to return to the ‘working world’ for a bit to get a few projects completed. 

It feels for all the world like stepping backward, out of the realms of sustainable living and into the clutches of the dreaded ‘MAN’ (whoever he is).

And Again

Yesterday Afternoon

A Pretty Good Start

If the rest of the year goes anything like January this will be a really great year.  We've been so busy, and have accomplished so much!  The weather has been less than accommodating ranging from monsoon to freezing rain with a few astoundingly beautiful days interspersed.  But we haven't let that get in our way this year.

We managed a serious deep clean on the house and, with the help of a couple of new bookshelves, have organized no only all of the books that were already in the house, but also several boxes of books that have been in one shed or another for the entire time we've lived in Tennessee.  The living room is looking more and more library like all the time!
