Beardy Star Stuff, Late Summer 2024

Note: It's become popular to have a "Now" page but it seems to make more sense to just have this on the home page?

Work: I've been busy doing design and layout for of several annual reports and newsletters.

Tiny house and Land: I've just finished mowing lespedeza, an invasive plant in our area. It's an ongoing effort to remove it and allow for growth of our native plants.

Health: It took five years but Covid finally caught up with me. 14 days after infection I've still got a cough and sinus congestion but feel fairly well recovered. Yuck. I'm thankful I was able to avoid the first 3 years of the more virulent strains.

Free time: I've moved the site from its previous home at micro.blog and I'm excited to be rebuilding it from scratch. Going forward these pages are my own, all hand coded html and css with files uploaded the old fashioned way. This means I have complete freedom to organize the site and pages as I see fit. I've been enjoying spending time looking at how others have organized their sites and am considering options. Rather than continue thinking of the site as a blog I'll consider it more as a digital garden that includes a blog. There are a few longer blog posts that I'd like to feature. I've also been expanding the Blogroll and adding a links/bookmarks blog.

I've not quite got it all sorted yet. Likely a permanent work in progress as these things usually are.
