Heading into week two of vacation and just beginning to feel like a human being again. I was tired. Run down, dragged out, wrecked kind of tired. And now I’m looking at a lovely summer day stretching out before me and thinking that the hammock sounds good, and a book. I should probably mow the lawn at some point, but it’s a small lawn, that’s ten minutes of activity. That’s enough. It’s summer vacation.

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. It’s a shame that in the U.S. a week or two of vacation is expected to rejuvenate us when other countries typically give workers a month or more!
What’s going on in your garden? You inspired me last year with all the swiss chard 🙂
I have a small space to garden in and find it challenging to produce enough to feed a family of 5. It’s usually a summer experience anyway.
