Whiling Away the Hours

What to do when you have a sick child who will not leave your lap for hours at a time:

--admire the sprays (boughs? cuttings?) of Quince that our new neighbor brought over to us. What a delightful introduction!

--marvel at Attic 24's crocheting prowess.

--contemplate making Kichri

--shop for handmade wooden baby teethers at Little Aloutte

--smile at Michelle at Green Kitchen's transformation

I'm also catching up on my neglected Google Reader readings. I am drowning in old posts. If I usually comment on your blog, and appear to have fallen off the face of the earth, I promise I'll be back soon! I had the brilliant idea that I should read my "skimmable" blogs first and then take time to comment properly on my beloved blogs, but what happens is that when I'm done with the skimmables, I'm too worn out to compose coherent thoughts.  From now on, I'll read my beloveds first!  I don't mean to denigrate any blogs by calling them skimmables--I love them too!--I just don't comment on them on a regular basis.

I want to apologize for not responding to comments promptly or at all.  I love getting comments, and, as soon as I read them, I put them in an "Answer" folder.  Then life gets in the way...  For an embarrassingly long time...  It's sad really...  And torments me quite a bit...  So I'm going to try to answer right away from now on.  

I hope you all have a lovely weekend--full of sunshine and free of Swine Flu!

Sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs; search for knowledge,read more, I think that is very meanful for you because today is important.

I do the same thing with reading blogs!

Sorry about the sickness in your house. I hope you can enjoy the fact that she wants to sit on you - a little. Remember - soon she won't want you to come anywhere near you!
