This winter, I will learn:
- Just exactly how HBO has managed to turn George R.R. Martin's frustratingly rambling, plot-wandering, murderous writing style into compelling T.V. Because we are always a year or two behind pop culture and so have just added the Game of Thrones DVDs to the Netflix queue.
- Photography. This just might be the best bouquet I ever made, and the picture just doesn't do it justice. You can't really see the red/orange/black beauties that are the Moulin Rouge sunflowers. I suspect that is partly because I consistently make bouquets after 10 o'clock at night and the lighting in the barn is crap, but also I know nothing about camera settings.
- Wordpress. I need more control over my social media habit/farm marketing. I need to consolidate. I need to (gulp) learn some HTML, I think.
- Knitting. Didn't I learn this two years ago? Why yes, yes I did. And I haven't done any knitting since. Total feminine handicraft fail.
- Final Draft 8. I'm writing a screenplay with The Metropolitan Brother. The story is super fun. The software is helpful in that I don't know how to format a screenplay, but also confusing in that I don't know how to use the software.
Anyone else have any big plans for the off-season?
Also, and in case my angst over the farm has overshadowed this fact, I LOVE ARRANGING FLOWERS! Enough to scream over the interwebs, even!
Especially when said flowers are for wonderful farmer friends who are getting married tomorrow.
Congratulations, you two.

For the off-season, I plan to read your blog again! Loving the more frequent posts--yay for the down season!
Better yet, you should blog about various dramatic pursuits, so I'll have something to read. I'm not kidding!
You betcha. Mad purging and organizing, finding a home for everything is top on my list. Learning how to run an inventory-based small business so I can help my husband expand his letterpress hobby that pays for itself into a side business that makes money.
Mastering pressure canning.
Catching up on Dr. Who and Downton Abbey.
Learning how to play a first person shooter game with my son, who got me into World of Warcraft, then got bored and moved on, stranding me alone in Azeroth.(Well, not alone, my mom plays too. But (shhhsh) not very well.)
Learn some yummy recipes for the dozens and dozens of winter squash I grew this year.
I have many more ideas, but I don't know how many of them I'll realistically get to.
Rock on, Sue!
I keep telling myself I am going to learn guitar. My brother did, quite well in fact, why can't I? Maybe it will be this winter? And practice my flute.
I want to catch up on The Mentalist.
And for fun I will go through all our boxes I haven't gone through yet. Hey, maybe I can find things to give for Christmas in them!
Knitting! I am starting again as well, little farm! Got an easy pattern?
