Snagged from GoddessMusings

1. Have you ever considered running away?
Yep, several times. Mostly during my adolescence when Da's drinking was so bad. Finally ran away when I was twenty back to Arizona and spent a year not talking to anyone from my immediate family, even hung up on my mother when she called. I was a brat. My brother ran away twice, one time coming to live with me for a month, which encouraged my sister to do the same. Odd position to be in, living with your siblings with no parents around. Depending on who you ask, I ran away again at 29 when I moved to Washington. If you ask me, I'll tell you I was running TO something, not away from something. I think yuppy kids run away differently than other kids do. We always ran to family.

2. Do you speak a foreign language? Do you have a passport?
Yes, I have a passport, though it still reads my parents home address in the Berkshires, which we're beginning to call the "Family Estate". I've traveled Western Europe (Ireland, England, France, Switzerland, Germany) I'm not fluent in any language other than English, but I do fairly well in Spanish, know enough German to get around Germany for a few months, and can fake my way through Hebrew for Jewish services (enrolled in classes). I can also have a limited conversation in sign language.

3. Right now: do you know which way is east?
Oddly enough, I can. As I'm sitting in my office at the front of our home, I know that the back of my home is due East.

4. How do you like to travel: get up and go, or plan it out?
Oh, I'm definately a planner. Must be the Aquarius thing. I'm trying hard to be more "pick up and go" for the hubby's sake.

5. Do you ask for directions when you are lost, or do you keep on going?
I usually ask for directions. The better question is do I drive myself anywhere I'm likely to get lost? Nope. But I also drive with a compass, maps and a cell phone.

Okay- this is SOOOO me! lol

All in a day's work...

Wowsa...four and a half hours working on the circle was done by the hubby, while I clock in somewhere at the 3 hour range. We managed:

1. to set up the strings to check the circle (yep, its still twelve feet across)
2. get another few feet across smoothed out (its sort of gibbous shaped at present)
3. delineated where the path flows from the Garden Gate, outlined by driftwood pieces, around the south side of the circle and flows upward around the circle to the NE Gate.
4. made some tough choices as to which of the driftwood monoliths go where.

The best part of the latter decision-making is its done from underneath the pavillion, sitting on adirondak chairs. I cannot express how important that factor is given I spent much of my time on my knees (no snide comments, dearies) while I either picked up rocks (from the rock pile next to the circle) then moving them to the spiral circle out front, where I kneeled some more in loose rock (ouch) to set up another circuit. I'm never quite sure WHY I always end up putting rock out in the circuits during the hottest portion of the day while the sun beats down on me, but there it is. One thing I'm learning about spiral walks - the farther you get from the center, the more work and time they take and the less interested you get in expanding them!
