It’s been a while.
Finished class, you know. One would think that would give me all this time to write. But instead, once freed, I’ve run away from all things computer.
So. Class was so intense. It’s odd – it’s like as soon as I was officially in a class, the intensity meter jammed onto full. And the very hour I was out of class, that same meter just snapped back off. Very odd sensation.
We are ~still~ not finished with this ranch business. Though the back & forth has led us to all kinds of interesting byways. Just discovered this resource – http://gisweb.glo.texas.gov/glomapjs/index.html. You can look at the original land grants all across Texas. We’ve found some from before Texas statehood. It is all very interesting.
We had a perfect, lovely Easter. We ran errands, did gardening, put an Easter basket together (without discovery!), found eggs – and went on a crazy sugar high that somehow never turned into a raging sugar crash. Not sure how that worked. But it was just a lovely weekend.
And I am very excited about the yardwork we got started. We’ve been making all these flower bed plans. We’ll think of something, do it, learn from it, do something else – over and over. Well, there’s some threshold with this one where we had a plan, knew what materials we needed and how to construct it, had the tools and the necessary parts and all that kind of stuff. So it seems like a big step up from our previous plans. Like all the other things we’ve done to date are done knowing beforehand that they’ll need to be re-done as we figure out what we’re doing. But although we’re making plenty of mistakes, this (probably) won’t need to be redone. This one will stay.
