today in Amity

Today in Oregon the rain has finally stopped, but I sort of already miss it.

Things feel very busy around here. Life seems to consist of running and waiting and not much in between. The grapes are very late this year, but are finally almost ready to harvest, and with them I am almost done with my harvest preparations. A lot goes into a bottle of wine my friends, and that is before the fruit even gets to the winery.

I was finally starting to feel settled here. On top of things. Like I knew what I was doing and where I was going at least for the next year maybe. But now that feeling is somewhat gone. I am worried.

I am sick of change.

I think I could sleep for 2 whole days.

I cant wait to get the mail today.

This morning I have had 3 cups of coffee, half a bagel, one cheese and peanut butter cracker and have done more vlookups (excel fun) then I cared to.

Hope you all have a lovely Tuesday chickadees.

a lovely weekend

this weekend was pretty great, in part because it included:

My first fly fishing lesson (in the backyard, but still super fun), homemade pound cake, an amazing homemade meal of steak, asparagus and mushrooms (half the fun of which is the act of cooking together), 2 bottles of wine (shared), dancing in the kitchen, sleeping in, a warm fire on a drizzly day, just a touch of solitude, journaling, 2 baths, plans for making myself a fantastic tooled leather belt (in a grassy pattern), and pizza for fathers day.

What made up your weekend chickadees?
