Oh dear.

I forgot my blog's birthday. Again. Last year I was in Ireland for my dear friends' wedding (which I was in), which I thought gave me a pass. This year I really don't have the same excuse. I mean, I've been a little distracted and out of touch with this space, but I should have remembered.

I have been absent from this space, as grad school kept me otherwise occupied. I hope to get back into blogging, though. I miss this place and writing. I want to thank (again, and because I can't hug you all and I would) all my blog friends and readers. I know I don't know all of you, but thanks for continuing to read. Say hi.

Oh, and I hope you like the agrarian photos - I took them today on my drive home from work. They are so summer to me. Click them to see them bigger.

I do like the photos...so peaceful and welcoming.

Regarding the missed b-day of the blog and not blogging as much as you'd like--well, sometimes life just gets really hectic and crazy 'til something's got to give. Your priorities were correct. Now that school is over, well, it's a whole 'nother ballgame. Ease into your new freedom. Recuperate...

Beautiful photos, Claire!

I cannot *believe* it's been a year already since you were in Ireland. My God. Time flies. I remember you writing about it like it was yesterday. Man!

And......Happy Blogoversay!! I didn't remember mine this year either. I blame aging brain cells and an extreme case of indifference. lol

The photos suggest so much quiet, vast space.
You do wonderful work, Claire, and shouldn't worry about missing this or that or not posting as often as you might like.
Losing your stuff, though! That's a shame. And I find "backing up" so daunting that I try to convince myself I don't care about the stuff on my hard drive--not that much.
What a lie! All my stories are on my hard drive. Tomorrow, I'll back them up. Really.
