Already today I’ve: Washed, folded, and put away two loads of laundry. Ran. Showered. Cooked breakfast. Cleaned the kitchen. Blogged. Vacuumed. Dusted. Cleaned out the car. Put away coolers from the race yesterday. I got up early to write. Even though I try convince myself that this blog post and that blog post count as writing, I know they don’t really.

This week I was out walking and a character popped into my mind. I walk past this farm many times each week. It’s been showing up in my notebook a lot lately, and I’ve been thinking about the kinds of people who could live on a farm like the one I walk past.
