I tried Forrest yoga for the first time today. Does wonderful things for my shoulders and back, and I suspect that if I were a serious practitioner I’d have abs as hard as … abs.

 

Anyway, if you haven’t given it a go, I’d certainly recommend trying it.

 

 

No progress on the clothing front; I forgot to take my fabric with me when I went to visit  my sewing machine (and family) last week. And my big internet order is languishing at the USPS … apparently, they have decided it is unnecessary to knock when trying to deliver a package. I know we’ve made amazing advancees in technology since the good ol’ USPS delivered it’s first letter – computers, the interwebs, peel-and-stick stamps – but a good, sound rap on the front door has yet to be supplanted by the next great technological advance in package delivery alerts.

 

 

I’ve also stalled out on the food bit temporarily. I’ll be transitioning to a new kitchen in a couple weeks (it comes with an apartment attached), and starting some new projects. We’ll be getting our first delivery from a new CSA cooperative in June, and I’ll be trying my hand at vermicomposting. I’m still devising the best, most sanitary bin construction (I don’t want to pay several hundred dollars for one, especially when I have no idea if I’m going to make it work or stick with it).  Fruit flies are an issue; I believe freezing scraps before adding them is supposed to help. And I am wondering if I can line the interior with a fine mesh or mosquito netting to keep any little larvae that escape the freezing process inside, and keep other unwanted pests out.  Experimentation on that project will commence in late May/early June, as will my first outdoor container gardening experiment.

I’m sure at some point, reality will tame my ambition.

 

Spring is fun.
