Update: Quarantine

Our California Poppies, May 2020

Ever since we moved to Oregon in 2017, work at the winery consumed a lot of the time I had spent blogging. Even though I missed keeping up on the blog, other things occupied my spare time: being with Ann, working on the house, and landscaping a bare lot.

You can see the waning blogging: 100 posts in 2016, 67 posts in 2017, 9 posts in 2018, 5 in 2019, and none in 2020.

And although I've had a good bit more spare time thanks to social distancing and quarantining in this new era of the COVID-19 virus, the motivation hasn't been there. I can't be the only person whose motivation has been sapped by this pandemic.

But now that my job is gone and I'm at home full time, I hope to get back to writing a little.
