Sticks and Stars

I feel compelled to be productive today but pretty thoroughly incapable of carrying it out. I did make blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning, so that’s something. That’s one thing I love about summer. I made two batches of raspberry muffins this past week, blueberry pancakes this morning, and strawberry freezer jam after this afternoon’s trip to the farmer’s market. My mom used to make freezer jam every year and I liked the idea, the pioneer (plus freezers) feel of it, so once I was on my own, I started making it too. However, one or two people can only eat so much jam. It wasn’t until I had two peanut butter and jam loving children that I really appreciated why one might want stacks of freezer jam cluttering up the freezer. And indeed, once I buy another lemon, I’ll make another batch of raspberry jam too. Thank goodness freezer jam requires almost no effort.

I set myself up a wordpress blog last night and stayed up late playing with it. I had no idea that you don’t have to host your own wordpress blog anymore so that was a pleasant surprise. No bother with registering a domain and finding a webhost. Once I manage to get some content up I’ll let you know. Although I don’t plan to keep the blog so carefully anonymous (that’s what the password protected posts will be for), I think I might still have people specifically request the url rather than just posting it so that I know who’s reading, at least in the beginning.

Five years and five blogs.
