Here I am, out from under the rock that was August. Nothing wrong, just very busy with getting my new Animaterra chorus season underway, and the building of our porch (Latest pics here ).

But now the chorus season has started - a smaller group than last time, but that's not unusual, since so many of the singers are teachers, who often prefer to take it easy in the fall. And the porch is moving along pretty well without me. The house is mostly keeping free from the worst of the clutter, not counting the black hole in space, aka the office. I pick away at it, but I seem to be good at making new piles as fast as I can go through the old ones. Hunt keeps promising to build me some more shelves, but then another series of gorgeous porch-building days come along, so the shelves have to wait.

I waited 30 years for this house, I can wait a bit longer for shelves!!

Best de-clutter re-locating activity of the week: the 3 rockers moved from the kitchen to the porch, and that very day I acquired a loveseat for the kitchen (right in front of the wood stove) from one of the most beloved contra dance callers in the region!
