My first inclination is to apologize for the lapse in blog posts but I don’t really feel sorry. I think having a blog (or in my case two blogs, a constantly updated flickr stream, facebook pages, twitter updates, and a small business) is just a little nuts. I’d like to think that blogging isn’t completely narcissistic; I do live 2,000+ miles from my family and feel the need to keep in touch (if only via random musings about home life or alternatives to concrete). However, it does feel a little self-indulgent to spend so much time putting more content out in the world. That said, I have more content for you and as Joe and I begin (yes, finally) the process of working with an architect to get our final plans and permits going, I will be self-indulgently posting a wee bit more.
To start, I have some bad news. House & Fig is really just House now. The fig tree was leveled last weekend by my adept husband. He’s great with power tools. Before you protest 1. the fig tree was really just a fig bush that was slowly overtaking the north side of our yard (the original was cut down many, many years before we arrived) and 2. the figs weren’t really that good. So alas, we’ll still be known as House & Fig but the latter is only figuratively. Here’s a photo to prove it.
Check back sometime. I might post something new.
