Sometimes I don't blog because there is nothing happening. Other times it is because the chaos is not blogworthy. Then there are times that the busy-ness might be interesting, but I'm just so busy to take the time to blog. You decide.
Day Job: I am currently facilitating a Summer Institute for classroom teachers. We are looking at using Primary Sources as we study the movements of people: Immigration, Westward Expansion, Lewis & Clark, etc. Lots more - you can fill in the blanks. I've been prepping for this for the last couple of weeks & now I'm in the middle of it. We'll repeat the Institute in July for another group.
Fiber: Although the Etsy shop is slowed down (and I have not been posting new items because of everything else going on), I've been dyeing sock yarn for the local yarn shops. I'm also spinning some very pretty yarn, either for myself or the shops. And if I'm spinning again, that means,...
Home: It's getting put back together. Walls & ceilings are repaired and newly painted. Furniture is now in the correct rooms. Soon there will be art on the walls and books in the book cases. This is a very, very, very good thing.
Garden: Cranking out peas (still), beans, cukes, chard (very soon), summer squash (galore) and lots more. Weeds a-plenty!
Knitting: Swatching for a new sweater. It will be a moss green cardigan. That's all I know so far.
Dance: Just completed the Summer Soiree, a contra dance weekend here in Asheville. My sweetie was on the committee. I led an English Country Dance workshop. I was rather nervous, but got very good feedback from the serious EC dancers as well as folks trying it for the very first time. George Marshall was the main caller for the weekend and he danced every dance, so I think I did okay. If not, he would have been gone pretty quick!
On the evening's menu, summer squash fritters (see above)! Yum!!!
