I was out for a run yesterday when I had an idea for a series of blog pots that would focus on those things that maybe I’ve been keeping to myself… afraid of saying out loud (on line) for fear that you would think I’m weird.
Well, the fact is: I am weird.

Can you believe it is already May? I’m shocked. And relieved as well.
April was a marathon of family events from simple visits to weddings and a funeral. Overall it was a good, albeit hectic, month. But now April is gone (whew) and May is here (woot!).
And now with all this free time, I’ve been letting my creative juices flow. I have cooked a little, written some, and crafted a lot.

Well, except I did bake biscuits on Christmas morning because, dang it, you should have biscuits on Christmas. But other than that my oven was all but ignored.
So if I wasn’t baking,… where did the time go? Excellent question. I’m so glad you asked!

Sometimes there is a sign in the road that you can’t ignore. My infrequent posts and general blogging malaise is a sign to me. Maybe I’m not doing something right?
Maybe I need to slow down and look at that sign before I hit the hump going full speed and find myself flying through the air like the General Lee being chased by Rosco P. Coltrain. The Dukes always made their landings and kept going but I don’t think my Prius can make that kind of jump and probably I’d just end up crashed out in a ditch.
