A long, hard year

In the past year, we have grown a beautiful garden, pickled and jammed and canned, celebrated M's senior project (Honors!), his graduation (High Honors!), and just this past Friday he accepted a job offer as a Software Engineer at a company in RB. We have made new friends, and lost some old, weathered any number of storms -- metaphorical or real -- and most recently survived the 2014 May fires.

It has been a busy year.

I haven't found time to write mostly because I haven't found time to clear my head enough to write. Yet here we are: M is graduated, celebrated and gainfully employed. What an amazing and crazy journey.
