Dear Friends,
While we are enduring the Covid pandemic here in Washington state, my new resolution is to post here once a day. Obviously, I won't have anything compelling to say that frequently, but I'll offer updates and possibly some little family stories.
Here, as you might expect, Fred and I have self isolated at the farm. I'm almost ashamed to say how much I'm enjoying this. I am writing, or rather, Megan Lindholm is. That part of me is pushing along an urban fantasy set in Tacoma.
I am doing things such as planning out where my native trees will go! Every year, I get native species from Pierce County's native plant sale. They are so inexpensive! So I have five Nootka roses, five oOrgeon oaks, five Sitka Spruce,and five mock orange bushes to plant. I've put my kinickinick in small pots. I did set out five little sorrell plants, which my free range chickens have already reduced to two. Rotten little dinosaurs.
Check back with me here if you'd like to see some updates. I will close with two things my mother used to say in times of stress:
Keep Calm and Carry On.
Also:
"When in danger or in doubt,
Run in Circles, scream and shout."
I'm going with the first one.
