It’s been a while since I last blogged, and I’m sooo sorry, guys! Other than sharing things from the Rabid Rainbow Ferret Society, I think my last actual post here was back at the end of NaNo. Oops. I just haven’t had the mental energy to do so, and the one time I did (sometime…

I… really didn’t mean to disappear on the blog when the last week of October hit, but OH WELL. I mean, my only real excuse was last-minute NaNoWriMo preparations… and then NaNo itself. 

October 17, 2015

Since NaNo is imminent and I haven’t done nearly as many garden things as I should have in the past month, the next Down on the (Sub)Urban Farm installment will be in November. It’s been a couple of years since I did a NaNoWriMo Tools post. I think 2014 rolled around, and I figured since I’d…
