Autumn Awakening

I am settling into the slower Autumn rhythms. The shorter, cooler days are perfect for baking, spinning fiber into yarn, and spending the evenings snuggled into a good book. I still have 2/3 of the 55 gal drum of sheep wool to wash, card, and spin. I’ve started “Herman the great sourdough starter,” he lives on the kitchen counter through the fall, winter, and spring. I rarely bake in the summer; the oven makes the kitchen too hot. I am glad I wasn’t a woman in the old days, cooking on a wood-burning stove year-round. I miss cooking on the Southern Comfort wood cook stove in the winters of my girlhood.

Simplify: the theme of this year.

Since I am working to simplify this year, I have moved to this blog from http://thiassi.spaces.live.com. The reason I moved? This one seems more straightforward. Plus, there are fewer "toys" over here for me to play with. (Less playing = more writing? Hopefully.)
