I hate climate change
We have beautiful precipitation that should be snow but instead we got rain. It is mid-December and the lakes should be frozen and there should be snow on the ground but nothing.
Obviously, there are bigger climate impacts than me missing snow, but I miss it anyway.
This week was more work with students on crafts and foods for them to sell as well as a lot of sorting of beans and grinding cornmeal. Today I bottled up some maple syrup for sale, too.
I have been sourcing holiday gifts locally this year (again): pottery, alpaca socks, goat milk soap, and local beer. I plan to make some too- maybe a cutting board or a carved wooden spoon.
In writing news, I’ve been working on my January genealogy essay and it is about the #endoftheworld, so I am putting off publishing for obvious reasons. Also, reading the Wheel of Time series has taken up most of my writing time lately. I should be done soon, though. There are only 15 books in the series.
