This week we've gained a family member:  Welcome Sweet Baby Pea!

I've lost an old friend, who died way to young, leaving two sons.  Another friend had open heart surgery, which went very well.  Another friend initiated her divorce proceedings with the help of the local police.  My in-laws came for a week long visit.  And we have been super busy cooking, cleaning, gardening, farming, readying, loving, supporting, making art and generally trying to keep up with everyone we love. 

Whew, I better start blogging again.  When I take a break, apparently, all shaboodle breaks loose.
