As you can tell I've been away from the blog for quite awhile. Life happens and sometimes changes get in the way as we learn to adjust. Now, I'm back!

After spending 5 years in our rented duplex in the historic Hudson Bay neighborhood we will be moving to our own house in about 3 weeks. I've never enjoyed moving but the end result will be worth it. As we prepare we are canning from the current garden, teaching classes in food preservation, playing music and keeping our open mics going along with our "day jobs".

The "new" (to us) house is a sturdy concrete block in an older neighborhood 2 miles north of where we are now. Part of the immediate challenge will be getting the large plants and trees into the ground as quickly as we can and getting the fall/winter garden going. This house actually has a garage so we will have our freezer with us rather than 3 miles away.

Good things are happening and the adventure begins.
