Been a busy couple of weeks here in the burbs…
- work is a handful right now, and Lent is right around the corner.
- We discovered an awesome and simple artisan bread recipe in Mother Earth News. It has endless variations and is very, very tasty! We are making pizza dough out of it tonight. Give it a try.
- The last frost is just around the corner, so garden planning is in full swing. My seed potatoes will be here any day now, and we need to get seedlings started for everything else. And of course, those beds still aren’t built.
- I have all the stuff I need to rework my container soil from last year, and really need that done this weekend.
- I have decided to build a fence around the back yard, but have to file paperwork with our HOA for approval. I figure why pay someone else to do this when I can do it myself.
- I have been thinking a lot lately about the so-called Benedict option. Rod Dreher writes about it in his book Crunchy Conservatives, and several blogs have spoken of variations on the theme. It has me thinking about what intentional community building might look like. What if like minded folks covenanted to all move to a neighborhood together, buying several houses on a block or large plot of land, and turning into an intentional community? Not sure…but it has my interest…
