See You In September
If you've been wondering why the Pondering Pig is getting a little thin lately, a post here, a post there, but sort of random - Patrushka and I are putting our lives into an entirely new order. We are leaving our temporary summer quarters here on the far coast in 1910, and heading home - to our new home in Washington State up against the edge of the Rocky Mountains where the grizzly bears roam.
We have chosen the year 1925 as our time location, although I will be visiting the present to report on our adventures, discuss the pondering business with other talking pigs, and pick up our supply of Cheerios.We've been sweating the deal and the financing and how to move all our gear over a thousand miles and packing Grandma's sewing machine (yes, Patrushka's greyhaired Saxon mother is coming to live with us) and besides that, we left our gypsy cart in a field in Washington State and I have had to hitchike to the library to post.
By the end of September we will be living in our new home, surrounded by boxes but with an internet connection again. And, I promise you, a whole new exactly the same Pondering Pig ready for new adventures. So keep your RSS feed connected.

You're so close to us, I can almost smell the sty.
Yeah, I looked on a map. Spokane isn't that far away from SmallTown, Alberta!
Best of wishes to you as you make the transition to your new abode.
We'll all look forward to catching up with you soon.
In the mean time, Pappa Herman posted a lovely rendition of images and words (from the 10,000 maniacs song) about Jack Kerouac over at Picture This. Check it out!
I am half-way through "My Antonia". All I can say is "Wow!!". Why have I never heard of her before? Her writing is invisible. I keep having to remind myself that the book was written almost one hundred years ago. Thank you for telling me about her!
