I Miss Reading

And writing.



So there you have it. I saw something the other day about a girl who reads. I used to read! I think the last book I actually sat down and read all day was The Help. It's been awhile.

That doesn't mean I've been without books. I am am avid listener of audiobooks and usually put down at least one a week, but somehow it's just not the same. Life has gotten so busy that as soon as I sit down with a book, magazine, or even a newspaper article, my giant "To Do" list starts running through my head.

I need to slow down. Winter is good for that. I never thought I would actually look forward to winter.

I think part of that slow down is going to be an early end to working at the farmers market. I'm burned out. I have several customers who come to the house. I wish I had a good place to put an outdoor fridge so people could come and go as they please on the honor system.

For now, I'm going to stick the headphones in and go work on the fall vegetable garden, while dreaming of a paper and ink book and my spot on the sofa.
