A photo( and occasional sketch) diary to monitor my culture shock from my move from a West Coast urban city to a beautiful and very small rural community in The Great North West. ***Click on pics for larger image. Updated every week, if we're lucky.***

27. "So, I saw that you raked up your leaves this weekend--"



"Oh. Why, yes. I did rake my leaves this weekend." I looked up from my etching plate to see a classmate had joined me in the printmaking studio.
"Yeah, I saw you raking. It was good that you raked them up before the rain." she said.
"Yeah, I mulched them. Do you get many leaves?"

Dearest Propane Gas Tank friends,

So it's been a little over a year, and I promised you that I'd check in to let you know how I've adjusted to small town living. Though I find myself adjusting a tad, I'm still taken aback by what one friend calls, "the fishbowl effect". As most of you know, I had been taking care of my dear M in Ca in the past year, so I really haven't had a chance to get a feel for El Big in the way my partner Que has. So I've decided to credit that time to my blog. That being said, stay tuned for more Propane Gas Tank!
Blogs away!

xo,
Ms. Jane D'oh
