I was looking for an article from Organic Style magazine, which I just started taking, and ran across these articles about Women Of Substance And Style. From the one about Barbara Kingsolver:

So I grew up with this dual passion: my imagination smitten with books, and my feet flat on the green, green ground."

I've decided to let this design simmer a little bit before I decide on this picture, thus the watermark. It's expensive--$69--so I want to be sure this is the one. There are several others in this collection that I should probably try out first, although I really do like this one. Tea pots and tea cups continue to call to me. There's just something about the idea of tea that appeals to me. It seems to require slowing down. It's impossible, for me at least, to drink a cup of tea in a hurry.

I will slowly be repopulating this site; I probably shouldn't have gone ahead and put the redesign live before I'd figured everything else out, but I'm impatient. It's my worst trait. I admit that I'm powerless over it . . . And I wanted to set up the blog, but didn't want to set it up temporarily, then have to go and change everything. Again, impatience.

I should probably go look for some quotes about impatience. "Measure twice, cut once," comes to mind.
