Hey there. How are things on your end? I’m sorry I’ve been such a bad blogger. But we’ve been really busy, I swear!

Sold our car, secured housing, packed and sorted and loaded up, drove two hours, unpacked the truck, unpacked the boxes, sorted, etc., etc.

And now that we are here, life is good! Beyond the loveliness of our new place, Port Townsend is wonderful. We joined the co-op (10 min. walk), enjoyed the farmer’s market (5 min. walk), visited the most amazing park ever (10 min. walk), started digging garden beds, building a stick fence (literally sticks and lashing) and walked without a destination in mind. Our landlords (I hate calling them that) welcomed us with flowers, a bowl of fruit and chilled green tea. They are the sweetest. I already know our mailman by name—Saul—and realized this is not Seattle at all: everyone says hi to each other.

We’ve got a few more days of really digging in before I head off to Bread Loaf. I’m going to try and try to get some smaller more regular posts happening before that pause. Stick around, eh?
