Wowza
In reality, where most people live and work, this site would be an empty room with a live microphone. Coming in from the darkness of stage left, I would shuffle quietly, shoulders hunched and with a hand over my eyes peer into the void in front of me, quietly asking the vacant chairs in a hushed voice if anyone was there.
*ahem*
Life has changed a bit around these parts. A lot, really. I'm writing this morning watching the first snow of the fall season come down on our patio furniture. It's falling lazily, big wet flakes that melt rather than accumulate with any proficiency. A large mug of coffee is in front of me, a kitty cat on my lap. I've just finished studying for a quiz, which I am now putting off by creating this missive. The house is empty except for myself, Bailey (said kitty cat) and the sounds of the Hush Arbors album that a good friend just introduced me to. I am quite happy to be here.
I mentioned (in passing) that I have started a program at Denver Seminary in the last post. The fact is, I am going full time and it has taken almost this much time for my brain to adjust. Lectures, notes, papers and group projects have invaded my calendar, and it really has only been the last week or so that I have gotten to a point of equilibrium with it all. I have gone down to a severe part time employee for my old employer, and while still occasionally get in some wonderfully technical work, for the most part I have been reading about human development, counseling theories and biblical textual criticism. It's a trip.
This is all to pen a hope that we will be better with adding thoughts and memories to our little blogspot account. This coming weekend is the Harvestival, our CSA Farm's annual party for the community. A few weeks after that is the Annual Big 10 Flag Football tournament. Between them will be a visit from friends, afterward the beginning of the holidays. I've also been toying with the idea of starting a new Friday feature here, which I hope to kick off tomorrow. Keep your toes crossed.
With that, I'll leave some of the fun photos from the last month around our neck of the woods. I hope and trust that you and yours are well and warm. Cheers.

I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you. Thought you might have dropped off the end of the earth. I know exactly what you mean about studying, my head is full to bursting point at the moment with two courses and Latvian lessons, only another week and half to go and hopefully I finish one of the courses.
