Drive By…With Apple Blossoms
Yesterday was two weeks before my much overdo departure to visit my family on the farm back in Minnesota. It will have been nearly 18 months since I last visited. But, there is sooooo much to do before I leave. It will be somewhat of a working vacation as some exciting new things have landed on my doorstep with deadlines soon after my return to Colorado. I’m super excited about them and am hoping all the visiting and lack of high speed Internet access regularly will help me speed through those knits.
With all these things on my to do list I’ll be somewhat absent, probably for the next five to six weeks or so. I’ll try to update at least once a week, but I’m not going to pressure myself to do so. The last thing I need is another “to do” :-) Though I enjoy sharing my days with you all. You and Twitter and Facebook are like a virtual watercooler for me.
Do know that I’m reading and following your adventures on my phone whenever I get snippets of time to kill (waiting for a train, waiting to meet up with people, etc.) but my commenting will be sparse since the phone isn’t terribly conducive to commenting (and TypePad blogs seems to not allow me to comment from the phone more often than they let me).
While the plum tree did not put on a flashy show this year, the apple tree seems to be making up the difference! Despite all the work to do, it is so important to take some time for myself. I do not do so often enough. It is as good as guaranteed that I’ll have improved productivity when I return to work. So I did take some time recently to capture the apple blossoms and process a few of the photos. It was enjoyable and provided a tad bit of movement too - another very important thing I need to make time for. I even pulled out my macro filters which I don’t think I’ve done in nearly year!
So I’ve established that my plate is probably overflowing for the next six weeks. How about you? What will you be up to between now and mid-June?
