Going on Vacation

When I started this blog, I knew summer would be a difficult time for me to do much writing. And I was right! You might have noticed that my number of posts has dwindled, and even though I have lots of material floating around in my head, my creative energy is needed elsewhere right now (namely, the garden. oh yes and my children. and my husband. and summer social "obligations." and sometimes the house needs attention too.)

This blog, along with the joy and satisfaction it brings me, is also starting to stress me out just a tiny bit. Even though I tell myself there is no pressure for me to post every week, I do feel self-imposed pressure. And so, as I stipulated for myself in my Blogging Manifesto, the time has come for me to step back and take a little break. A summer vacation. Until the garden has retreated and the length of day has lessened.

I'll be back around September. I hope you will be too!

Much love and many, many blessings to you.
