Hiatus

Dear readers
I have noticed a trend last summer and this summer. I'll call it the summer slump. I noticed a great drop off in my posts. I have still been cooking, and have all the pictures and recipes ready to go. But, for some reason have been unable to press the magic button that allows me to publish my words. In part I can blame the busy-ness of summer, and the busyness of my business in the summer. But mostly I think I just sort of ... wane ... in my intentions. Some of you may know that May 6th is the anniversary of my father's death, and his birthday was August 23. For some reason, the stretch between May and end of August is sort of fraught and poignant, and sometimes it seems like all I can do is accomplish the necessities and the obligations that involve real time. I spend a lot of time hugging my kid and playing with him, and appreciating the sounds of birds and the sunshine and all that asinine tripe. Thus have I neglected my cyber-obligations, which I regret, but there you have it. I have so many recipes I'm eager to share such as chocolate muffins, summer dinner salads, and home-made lasagna. Thank you for sticking my me even when I am a summer schlump.
