Spring has sprung …

April 13, 2009 - By 

The weather has turned glorious, sunny and warm with intermittent rains — the lawn has greened up overnight and there are daffodils and crocus blooming in the foundation beds.

I’ve been up to all sorts of fun. I made a couple of camembert cheeses that are ripening in the fridge, the chickens are getting big and we’re planning to build them a coop out of a packing crate in which a friend had some family things shipped over from England, and I planted lots of cold weather crops in the garden over the long weekend.

And perhaps the happiest of all developments, there seems to be a “we” in LivingSmall these days. I’ve got a lovely new friend, and we’ve been spending a lot of time up at his cabin in the mountains — so I think there might be a little more mountain fun like mushroom hunting and general foraging in our future here at the blog.

So, I’ll be back this week with tales of recent adventures …

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.

  1. I just got chickens, too. And am also building a chicken coop out of reclaimed materials. You can see my new little darlings on my blog, Prose and Potatoes.
