I promise you, dear readers, that I have not fallen off the face of the earth.

I promise I will, someday (soon), return to the wonderful world of blogging.

I can tell you that I felt my little corner of the world here slipping into sadness and that was not where I wanted it to go. I needed a season of mourning, but did not want it to be permanent. It has not been. I still have moments of unexpected tears, but they are fewer and farther between.

Things on the farm continue on as always. There is chaos. There are arguments. There are lessons learned. There is love.

I want you to know that I have not abandoned you nor have I given up on our little slice of cyberspace.

I will return.

I am Spartacus....wait...no....that's not right.

Nevermind.
