A fond farewell (for now)……..
Much like a house needs spring cleaning in order to clear out the winter clutter and make space for bustle of summer, daily life periodically demands the same action.
With my wedding coming up in October, a giant veggie (and weed) laden garden to tend at Bounding Hound Farm, a new skincare business on the horizon (be on the lookout for Artemisia soon!), two geriatric hounds and two frolicking puppies, two very fulfilling but time consuming jobs (Story Story Night and McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation), and a weekly blog commitment, I had to draw the line somewhere…..so, FU fans, this is the last you’ll hear from me for a while.
Rest assured, I will be posting a blog after the wedding (what will she wear?? oh, the suspense!). In the meantime, I leave you with a Bounding Hound Farm photo album. Farewell……for now!

Sarah makes one hell of a fine farm dog......
.....but no dog loves the garden quite like Ed.
The perfect logo from an incredible artist. Thank you, Heather Bauer!
So…….here’s to it…..not losing site of one’s priorities, doing whatever it takes to realize those priorities and to staying in a perpetual state of forward motion. Onward!
