So, here I sit, watching Ugly Betty online from last week and doing some organizing before I head out to the mountains. I actually had some free time to read weblogs yesterday, and I want to be part of the conversation. I need to make it part of the daily routine. Probably first thing. I don’t want to give up my morning pages–there is something about the long hand that starts the day. Plus, with the dog walking and the chickens, I’m doing that writing very early in the morning.

Part of the issue with this weblog, in particular, is the purpose. I have used it for lots of different things over the years; the important question is what do I need it for now? A place to let the world know that it is raining? That I love the view from my office window with the greenhouse and the pond and the chickens? Here’s the view:
