I started this blog back in the fall of 2006. I wrote several posts and then got stuck. I have started writing numerous other posts off line to be uploaded when finished, but alas have not completed any of them mostly because I am a perfectionist. I write a post and then rewrite, add, delete, and rewrite again. I don’t know why. The first four which I managed to complete are certainly not perfect and they really need not be. I am not required to meet any standard of perfection in their content or quality. I am not being paid to produce a masterful piece of prose. I am doing it for my own personal enjoyment, so why make a job out of it.
I will just write about whatever I want and welcome your comments. I will be typing in my posts directly to WordPro without revision or a check of the grammar or punctuation, otherwise I’ll never do it. If I find a glaring error after the post is posted I’ll try to get back to it and make a correction.
One of my New Year resolutions was to get back to posting in January. Today is the 30′th. One resolution kept. Now I’ll start working on the rest.
As I mentioned in an earlier post we moved here to the North Woods, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in the spring of 2004. The house, or the cottage as I call it, and the yard had been neglected and in need of a lot of clean-up, paint-up, and fix-up.
While these chores are not my first choice of things to do they nonetheless must be done. I would much rather be gardening.
I had no garden the first summer but started one in the summer of 2005 and expanded it in 2006 and again it is being expanded for the 2007 season. I’ll provide more details as time permits.
