Karey's Overflow

'Overflow' refers to me having a wide variety of things I do, from writing books, to daily living of a wonderful life, and art work.

My Photo
Name: Karey
Location: Colorado, United States

I garden at 8000 feet, cook from scratch, needle felt, read books continually, study history and epistemology, write daily, contemplate spiritual theology, and pursue heirloom arts. I love to paint pictures of living beyond maintenance -- living creatively, discovering beauty in everyday ordinary things. I've been happily married to Monte, who is a geologist, for a long time and still very much in love, even after raising a family and building two houses. Our children are our best friends. Heather is newly married to Bill. Travis, a minister of the fine arts, is married to Sarah. And Dawson is in college. I naturally live first-hand and have recently realized that this is how we educated our children and ourselves. I love to learn about everything, teach, and work with my hands. I love my home, but my life has overflowed -- as a teacher, radio/conference/retreat speaker, author, and most recently as a MOPS mentor. Kareyswan.com is an ideal way for me to share my overflowing life with kindred spirits and those hungering to move beyond maintenance -- to be known by who they are, not just by what they do.

Happenings


What I'm posting now, I was going to post in the last post, but that one ended up really being about Dawson's photography. This post is other stuff happening around here this week.

Weather Report: Sun and Snow/rain mix Monday. Tuesday was beautiful. Wednesday was cooler but sunny, building in afternoon to 'slush' and then snow. Thursday - it's snowing, but supposed to stop a bit this afternoon with sun, and maybe some more snow Friday. The weekend is supposed to jump to the upper 60's maybe 70!

So ... roofers are trying to get as much done in replacing our roof as they can. Tuesday was a mass of guys ripping off the old roof, picking up the trash, and they tar-papered the whole roof (and whatever else they do - like maybe some heat strips or whatever code calls for). Driving home yesterday evening it looked like a lot of the roof was done. The 23 year old reddish-brown cheap asphalt shingles are gone and replaced with a variegated green, grey, tan, brown quality asphalt.

I ran errands yesterday after MOPS and checked out outdoor furniture. So Monte and me will spend this afternoon together (fun date!) picking out outdoor furniture for his deck off his newly finished office, and maybe replace the old furniture on our much used back deck - which we actually call 'the pergola'.

And my greenhouse is getting some more seedflats in there. I'll be planting tons of seeds over the next weeks. I'm excited, as I am every year, to see the new growth of the grapevine in the greenhouse and watch for where grape bunches are forming.
