Notes From Neptune

I write about people, places, and things.

I’m really sorry, guys.

About the missing photos in the previous post, that is. I’ve got this BlogPress app for my phone, which is really my only access to le blog since I’m technically computer-less, and it apparently has a hard time posting pictures. I’ll add them when I get home, but they are (from top to bottom) a finished shawl, fig & plum galette, and golden raspberries on the vine. It’s been a.. Read More

Up to no good.

What have I been up to since I’ve been on vacation, you ask? Oh, nothing. 😀 .mobile. Location:SE 98th Ave,Vancouver,United States

Had to share. Some stashdiving, crocheting, stitching, steaming, and pinning later…a watermelon slice. I made a pomegranate too. It’s still blocking though. Think I’m going to take them to Neimah’s parents as a thank-you gift for putting us up next week.

We came by the beets after a generous gift from our friends Anne and Neil. They get.. Read More

Good morning.

I had breakfast, straightened up the apartment, watered the plants, did some computer work, paid some bills, did an hour of yoga, packed a lunch, showered, put thought into an outfit (well, a little), and made it in to work on time.

No apologies.

I realize I have been absent for a nigh-inexcusable amount of time.
