2012 Gardening Resolutions

Filed under: the honey of man - by Alexa | Leave a Comment

I live in a townhome in Fort Collins, CO. My garden is 10′ x 5′, plus a few pots here and there on the adjacent concrete patio.

I spend A LOT of time dreaming about a “real” garden…a cutting garden and potager flanking the path beyond my kitchen door. A dense, dark green tea garden. Or a protected meditation garden at the end of an intimate, gently winding path. A labyrinth mowed into a meadow garden. Lilac allées and apple orchards. Lavender knots and sunflower fields…sigh.

  1. This year, I will be present in my garden.
  2. This year, I will be grateful for what I have.
  3. This year, I will drive my (tiny) garden toward possibility and potential.

Invisible Bees Rises

Filed under: bumbling - by Alexa | 2 Comments

For those of you who have followed along, perhaps noticing last year when things went dark, here’s the skinny: last Fall, I changed hosts and servers. In the process, I managed to lose everything. Including my index files. (For those of you who don’t know what that means, it means I lost the code for the website design, too, the framework, look and feel. Not just the content.) Lesson learned. Backups will be made.

I think of it, now, a little like a storm that blew in and leveled the landscape. I’ve always loved this place, though. And I’m excited to rebuild. I hope you’re excited, too.

Many thanks to Tenfold, especially my friend Matt Wade.
