about me
I'm open. What you see is what you get. I'm a bit of a flurry of indecision, not because I don't want to do anything, but because I want to do everything. Well, ok, not everything. I imagine I'm a type A personality but my bones argue with that. I don't mind getting dirt on my hands, love playing in the stuff. I'm not all that I have done but what I have done speaks of me. I've jumped out of a plane (no it wasn't a perfectly good one), been up close and had conversations with mighty buffalo (but I'm afraid of working with our horses), been to hell and back (I like it here better), have had the true blessing of knowing my 3 children, am consciously wrestling with my spirituality, am growing food for 20 families, built willow furniture, went swimming in the lake on May longweekend (no small feat in central Alberta), drive school bus, written poetry, carved wood, sculpted w/clay, painted for money and pleasure, stand as a tree hugger amoungst red necks and loved them anyway, taught hundreds of kids crafts and to love their neighbour, am learning to stand up for what's right, can sit for a spell listening to the birds and watching our bit of heaven on earth go about it's beautiful day.
Random thoughts:
1.Trees are really cool. There is a pattern to their branches' spacing that allows them to breath the correct amount of oxygen for the size of tree.
2.I have recently become my own best friend.
3.I wonder if the person who invented ketchup ever thought that it would become a) as popular as it is, 2) according to some daycares; a food group, and p) a reason for fries to be invented.
4."They" aren't as smart as they think themselves.
5.The best form of zen medit...

I'm finding that's the weirdest statement to ever have come out of my mouth. Who in their right mind would quit their regular paying job to become an artist? Anyway, it's done. The messy business of telling my employer, who's sweet and has always been there for me ( a little too much, at times) that I'd give him some time to find someone, and give him the name of one potential school bus driver, is all but over. I'm helping the new gal figure out my route, the kids and the paper work, and...

That's what child # 3 says. She said it in that tone that says "but I still love you". I've been wondering if it was just me that thought I was going a bit soft. The summer schedule I run is absolutely nuts. I don't think that's what she was talking about, but perhaps it's what causes the rather bent mentality I run on of late. Good thing my family still loves me, grin.
Last week, I had a work party of 9 come out to do their weeding. I feel obligated to be out with them; in part bec...

The delivery went alright. As usual, adding new aspects always need the kinks worked out. Because of the increase in #s of shares and the fact that I'm still only one person (daym!) it took a lot longer to pick. To add to the rush, #1 son was finished his exam right in the middle of the picking so I had to interrupt to run and get him. Good news is that he and his buddy helped. Bad news is, it wasn't enough time even with the extra hands. Good news is (didn't we already do this part?) I...

Tomorrow is the first delivery for '07. After equipping my truck with a hitch, buying 20 new totes, numbering them, and picking up a borrowed trailer today, I'm ready. First thing after am bus run tomorrow, I'll pick lettuce, radishes (provided they're not wormy), arugula, rhubarb, and bok choi. Rinse it all, seperate into shares and pop 'em into totes. By this time, C should be done his exam and I'll pick him and his friend up to help me pop the totes into the trailer and off we go. I h...
