The Rambler

Oh the places I've been... Here's a quick list of all the things I've done since my vermicomposting post (which, consequently, does not involve vermicomposting):

The Flora and Fauna of Tennessee

Oh my goodness! I have been neglecting my blog! If it weren't for my tweets, I bet anyone visiting here would have thought the earth had swallowed me up into a big dark hole. (In fact, I think my wedding has swallowed me up into some kind of hole... I don't think I would call it dark.)

Anyway, here is my latest trip - a visit to Tennessee to spend time with some of the Clanton and Ellis relatives.

This is Magpie (Maji) meeting some of the cows on the farm. You can see the rest of my pictures here.

Enjoy!
