The Changing Landscape

A friend asked me the other day why I hadn't posted in such a while. I didn't know how to answer him. I don't have an answer. How about I just post something?


This summer, another wind turbine farm popped up near me.



I swear, one minute they weren't there, and the next they were, just like mushrooms pop up out of nowhere in the spring. I'm sure it didn't feel that way to the people erecting them in the blazing heat we had.



These turbines are about a mile away from me, yet I can't actually see them from my place because of the trees and hill between us. This disappoints me. I rather like watching them. They are mesmerizing, like sitting at my spinning wheel, I think.



Luckily, this view is just a short walk away.



Someday, I'll have one of my own. Not a big one like these, of course, just one that will let me generate some of my own power. Maybe one of these babies? It seems almost wasteful not to.

Ooh - you posted!!! I've been missing your posts, too!

I never considered getting a home-sized wind turbine: which one were you considering from your link?

Just as I think its time I broke my blogging drought, up pops a post from you! Maybe Spring is on its way and nudging us out of bloggers' hibernation.
