A Blogger’s Day
When not writing and reading, I have days like the one
outlined below:
- Work I do for an employer that meshes with personal values and brings dollars into the household
- Housework to keep us all healthy and happy
- Finished a summer jacket
- Tended vegetable seedlings under growlights
- Helped to prepare three meals
- A trip to the local foods store and the local chain grocery to get what the local foods store hasn’t room to carry
- Pruned back bushes and fruit trees
Usually early in the morning or before bed, I read a little
bit. Here are some titles I've found very informative and/or uplifting lately, in no particular order:
