Ranting About Rectangles

Making a life as a round peg avoiding square holes

Cat or chameleon?

Black and white cat, on a black and white blanket. I’ve sat on him by mistake at least once.  Doesn’t seem to matter where he lays on that blanket, he blends so well. You’d think he’d learn from being sat on, but nope…he’s right back to it as soon as we leave the room. Silly cat!… Read More Cat or chameleon?

Whether weather allows…

One thing I disliked about working in the world of rectangles was that regardless of the season, the work was always the same. Get up, get dressed, go to work, work for 8 hours, go home. Hope for good weather on the weekends so you could do your yard work and play a little. It… Read More Whether weather allows…

Thinking about my ancestors

My parents have been pretty cool about this homestead/mini-farm thing. A little bit of horror from my mother asking “you DO that?” and some double-checking that we’re not on the verge of starvation out here so far away from them, they’re pretty fine with it. They enjoyed seeing a litter of rabbit kits last year,… Read More Thinking about my ancestors

Learning about garden pests – and how to make them into benefits

My husband (yes, bloggers can be married!) had one whole margarita and blamed it for his inability to hold his camera still an hour later. But that’s not what this post is about. This post is about SNAILS. You can see a tiny fraction of the snails that hang out on my house if you… Read More Learning about garden pests – and how to make them into benefits

It’s Resurrection Day!

Today is the day when I celebrate God’s desire for a relationship with us. A desire for relationship so great that he was willing to put to death his own son – part of himself – to have it. Since the beginning of time, since God created the universe and all that is in it,… Read More It’s Resurrection Day!

Clothing – and the associated laundry

After my post about shoes, I got to thinking about my wardrobe. I have many more choices in my clothing than I do in my shoes. In fact, I have so many roles each day, and each role requires a different type of clothing, that I find myself changing clothes multiple times. That can be a lot… Read More Clothing – and the associated laundry

I miss my shoes

One thing I do miss from my former surrounded-by-rectangles life is my shoes. I have many shoes. MANY shoes. Mostly heels, in many styles, colors, and fabrics. And I love them all. But heels don’t exactly fit in my new lifestyle! Can you see me wearing any of these favorites of mine out in the grassy-muddy… Read More I miss my shoes

So why a blog?

You might be saying “OK, so you’re trying to live without rectangles. Why write a blog about it?” Good question. On the one hand, this is just a personal thing. I’m tired of rectangles and glad to be away from them. Living a life in more of nature and less of artificiality is something I’m… Read More So why a blog?

About the blog

Have you ever noticed how the workers in the business world are all surrounded by rectangles? The desks are rectangles. The cubicles – obviously – are rectangles. Even the items on our desk or screen are rectangles. Paper is rectangular in shape. PowerPoint is based on rectangles. Word documents are obviously rectangles since they are… Read More About the blog

She got her head stuck!

Today’s rant about rectangles is in honor of my new rabbit. I have two brand new rabbits – so new they don’t have names yet. One is a Californian doe, about 2 years old. The other is probably an American Chinchilla Rabbit doe, also aged about 2 years. They are accustomed to being together, so… Read More She got her head stuck!
