Lughnasa                                  Waxing Artemis Moon

Spoke too soon about the illness.  It returned today with fatigue and coughing.  Still, I’m in a much better place than I was a week ago.  Upward arc.

Our house has become a good sized creative enterprise.  Kate now has a bi-level sewing operation with the Bernina upstairs along with cutting table and ironing board.  The long-arm will be downstairs with her stash.  This latter term has a different meaning to the quilter than it does to, say, your average latter day hippie.  Quilters stockpile cloth, small pieces, bolts, large chunks, left over fragments in all colors, shapes and prints.  Follows the you just never know principle.

We have flower gardens, vegetable gardens, an orchard and bees.  I have space to study and write, communicate with the outside world.  We both enjoy the kitchen, whether cooking meals or putting food by.  We have a commitment to supporting each others growth. The next phase of our life will be fun and fulfilling.
