Who’s Minding the Blog?
Every spring my husband and I go to Asheville, North Carolina, to visit my son – the potter who is also a closet super hero and has recently referred to himself as a “fire keeping alchemist” (a pottery reference, I suppose).
We live in the country, where many of our friends have animals, chickens, and gardens, and so when they go away they get someone to house-sit or make some other arrangements for the care of their plants and critters.
We don’t have any cows or goats to milk, but we do have a dog, so I made arrangements for someone to come and feed her while we’re away. Then I covered my cold frames because the weathermen have predicted a frost, maybe. But what about my bog? Who will feed and care for it? I feel like a parent leaving a teenager home alone for the first time.
I can check in from time to time, but I’m at the mercy of library computers and library hours. If you don’t hear from me with any regularity, you’ll know why. Hold my place.

Hi, Michele sent me. Lots of interesting little details in this post – I’ll have to read more of your blog to understand the referents.
Have a nice trip!

Hi Colleen! Safe travels!! You know you’ve got it bad when you’re paying for your blogging fix at the library! 😉 Just kidding! Enjoy your time with your son in Asheville. Beautiful part of the country!

I really felt like an addict when I ordered a meal and then went to the library (had to pay 2 dollars) to check my blog and email…came back and my husband was already eating and my dinner was getting cold!

Does the library really charge you to go online? That stinks! I’m pretty sure the ones here are free.
My sister lives in Asheville, too; I should hook y’all up. I know you could go online at her house (for free) and she’d probably even give you a cup of coffee.
