busy

OK, so this is getting to be a pattern...
I hate how I forget to track my progress here! I really am working on the DP, it's just hard to find time to post it on LJ :-/ I celebrated Beltane, it was great. We even put up a maypole. I'm having lots of fun with the Cow Share program and we have a meeting this Sunday to discuss the herd and socialize.

I'm working a lot of the two novels I'm writing, constructing a kitchen Book of Shadows (I want to create an heirloom for my daughter) and fixing up this dump that barely passes for a house. We're painting it this summer- green with brown trim. I'm also making shutters with oak leaves cut into them. It's going to look very cool. We finally got our massive garden put in -1100 sq feet. That's bigger than my last apartment! And I'm slowly but surely getting my circle herb garden filled in. So far it has Agastashe, native mint (can't remember the species), Sweet fern, Ghost Sage, White Sage, a cold hardy rose (for rose hips!), lavender, garlic, basil and volunteer cleavers. I just love cleavers for a spring tonic.

Anyway, that little update had nothing to do with the DP. So here's what I've been doing in that department: I've been working more on the virtues. I don't know why that's the most difficult aspect of the program for me. I try to be a virtuous person, but when it comes down to describing wisdom, piety etc... I just fail. Maybe my standards for the essays are to high or maybe I'm trying to tie down the terms to much. Either way, I need to just stop researching them and sit down and right the darn essays. Hmmmm that sounds a lot like the second novel I'm working on....
