Not Sleeping

I can remember many nights, back when, that I would not be able to sleep and so would get up and sit at the computer and write something for either JackeHammer or this blog. Tonight it isn't that I wasn't able to sleep, it's that I didn't go to bed yet and just felt like updating a bit on this "sequel" to JackeHammer, meant to be a landing place for my personal thoughts.

It's a quieter place here. Not much traffic, not that there's much traffic on either of my blogs right now, after being sick and posting very little for over a year now, it's surprising that I get any traffic anywhere.

My life has changed so much I don't really expect it will ever be the same as it used to be and I wouldn't really want it to be.

I'm a farm girl now. Caretaking a Well Fed Neighbor Gateway Farm. Sound simple? Nothing is simple anymore. Not even living on a farm.

We have some chickens, over 25...not sure the exact count though and a few rabbits, along with a few pot-bellied pigs that are mostly on their way out.

Today, my husband and I spent the better part of the day preparing for the blizzard coming in over night tonight. There's always a chance out here we could lose power so we drew some water and I did a little baking and cooking. I thought it would be best to have some things on hand that could be warmed on the wood stove, and I made some black raspberry muffins.

It's been a long day and I think the time is now right for NOT being an insomniac.
