wow, a hiatus

So so so so SO! I went on quite the little hiatus, did I not? And why you might ask? Well, I believe I hit blog burnout. And not from my blog (obviously), but from all the Unbelievable Amazing Inspiring and Incredible blogs I have been reading. All of these amazing mamas, writing books, publishing books, knitting something new every day, making summer clothes for a small army of children, homeschooling, working in the studio, remodeling 100 year old farmhouses and documenting it all, in breezy, well written hanging-out-with-your-chums-style of writing accompanied by phenomenal photos, and well, I just checked out.
I would read these blogs and think, exactly what do you do all day? Eat bon bons and watch tv? I mean, it's not like I'm moving in slow motion but good god, I keep thinking: Why isn't the porch finished? the laundry finished? the dishes finished? dinner made? Let alone, knitting a fabulous something or other, making darling little felt crowns for our buddies, remembering it's my day to bring snacks to the homeschool gig and bringing something besides a block of cheese and a bag of apples. At least they're organic apples. Sigh.
Anyhoo, I just came to a screeching halt. Quit reading, quit posting and just now thought, hmmm... wonder what the old bloggesphere looks like these days. So here I am. Back. With many photos to post and stories to share and life to document. But with out expectation. It is so nice to do that.
