This post is dedicated to my Dad.  He’s pretty awesome.  From a young age he instilled in me & my brother the value and satisfaction of DIY. 

OK, it has come to my attention that I haven’t posted ANYTHING in over 7 months.  I also have done no projects worth mentioning.  I think I’ve done 2, didn’t take any photos of the first, and haven’t posted about the 2nd, even though it’s been > month.

Here are the photos I shared on Instagram during Fall of 2020.

For the past year or so I have taken a different approach to blogging.  As have the vast majority of bloggers I follow.  Some have postulated it’s the natural evolution of blogging on the internet.

My Instagram photos from Summer 2020.

Working from home has it’s challenges but overall it’s been a very enjoyable experience!

Here are my Instagram photos for April, May, & June. There are waaaaaaaay more than usual because of being sheltering at home during the covid pandemic.  It’s been really nice to be working from home from the Girl Cave, while Jim works downstairs in the dining room.  And the cats LOVE having us home.

Back in 2015 I published a page called “Flood of 2010” which chronicled the 2nd epic “100 year flood” of the Ipswich River less than 4 years from the first, and included photos taken by Jim & Flickr user Paula Stephens. Last May I deleted it, but now it’s back.

Back in 2015 I published a page called “Flood of 2006” which chronicled the epic “100 year flood” of the Ipswich River and included photos taken by Flickr user waterpixi. Last May I deleted it, but now it’s back.

I don’t like the new normal.  Not at all.  I am not good with change.  It triggers my anxiety.  And makes living with depression more difficult.  But at the same time I am thankful for so much.
