Lessons and Happenings

I've learned an important lesson. When you're trying to cultivate a rich, deliberate life, you don't always have time to blog. I knew that in theory, but now that summer is here and we're traveling and gardening and working on our house, the blog has definitely been shoved to the back burner. When that first happened, I felt guilty about it. And then I realized that was stupid. Your lives continue whether I blog every day or not. So does mine. From now on, I will blog about the cool stuff and not sweat the rest of it. Clearly, winter will be my more abundant blogging season and, since I'm trying to practice what I preach, I'm going to embrace all the crazy, fun and sweaty summer activities that prevent me from blogging regularly.

What have I been doing to keep busy, you ask? Well, we got home from our Chicago/Milwaukee trip on July 10th. Today we leave for Boston for a week. I'm walking the breast cancer 3-day there and the menfolk will be there to support me and explore the city. We're also taking a couple days so I can be touristy along with them. I plan on hitting the Freedom Trail first thing Thursday morning!

 I also canned and froze 20 pounds of cherries, but more about that when we get home!
