Switching the Blog Schedule to Biweekly

Lots of other writing to do!

This week's post is a short one:

The Owl is switching from weekly posts to every other week. (Biweekly, except isn't it weird that biweekly can also mean twice a week?) Randy's busy with work and his city council campaign; I want to free up writing time for other projects. I have several longer works in progress, and I'd like to try to finish those instead of using all my writing time on blog posts.

But never fear, I'll still be writing! Expect posts about a book on parking (far more interesting than you might expect!), this year's garden harvest, how we prepped our bees for winter, reflections on having a regular blog for three years, and more!

"School-Age" At Last: My Homeschooling Plan for School Year 2023-2024

My oldest will be seven years old soon and people keep asking me what curriculum I'm using. Our plan is more eclectic: lots of outsidetime, fun co-ops, farms, play, life, and more!

Book Review: Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World by Henry Grabar

More space in America is dedicated to parking cars than to housing people. How did our built environment become this way? Why is parking so frustrating, the center of every zoning debate, and the key to reviving our towns?
