I was having so much fun with my blog. Photos and cooking and gardening…and then….this summer happened. I haven’t forgotten my blog exists, I have just been working about 80+ hours a week at 2 jobs and unfortunately, because the blog doesn’t pay the bills, it got put on the back burner, so to speak.

The part on the left has been done for over a week, but it was really hard to get motivated enough to finish that big corner on the right.
