In May of 2008, I blogged about my last Can O Worms cleaning. Obvious that it was time once again, I set aside time to complete the chore today. It has now been eight years that we have been vermicomposting. It seems like a natural part gardening to compost and to vermicompost. Our garden benefits, [...]
In two days, it will be one year since my skiing incident of 2009. Today, we went to Badger Pass and tried me out again. I have to say, as I walked to the beginning of the trail, I felt alot of anxiety. I looked at the snow and wondered if I could really do [...]
I asked my husband what kind of year he thought 2009 had been and he had a look of horror on his face as my answer. Yes, 2009 brought some challenges that I (we) were unprepared for in general. So much occurred relatively at the same time, which makes it even more difficult to keep [...]

It’s been six months from March 7, 2009. That’s when the life of my family took a new direction. It seems to me that nothing is as it was before that day. That is not to say that many things aren’t in better shape, others still in a state of confusion. All in all when [...]
