I can backdate entries at least to the 1970s. Debate: type in all the zillions of paper journal entries from college and after? (a huge undertaking, with just under 20 volumes in my used-to-be tiny handwriting)

This year the farm is also offering a fruit share, which is really time-intensive produce share (in that it includes peas, beans, and cherry tomatoes). Not all of the produce is from the farm, and not all organic, but all from the Pioneer Valley, and at least low spray integrated pest management. *ponders getting a fruit share*

Shabbat suprise: a dozen pink roses and twenty daffodil buds that bloomed over Shabbat, a sweet-smelling reminder of spring.

I went to an exhibit of mosaics at the Washington Street Art Center. My favorites were pieces by Margaret Ann Ryan and Geri Woodruff.

This scarf is making me think of non-rectangular neckwear to make.

And found on friendsfriends, Serenity, the Muppet version.

Is this for you, or to share? If for you, does scanning them in work? It's still time-consuming, but not as time-consuming as retyping. And unless you wrote on good paper, it's something you may want to do eventually anyway, if you want to be able to keep those journals around for decades to come.

Mostly for me, though it's always possible that I'd make some readable by others. I'm enough of a completist that having everything in one place (rather than bifurcated between LJ and paper) appeals.

I think it'd need to be a handheld scanner if I didn't type them; I'm not willing to take the binding apart to do this. Though in any case, it would be good to have a scanner for sketches and such (infrequent, but they did happen). The advantage of typing is the chance to see how much I've changed (embarrassing though it can be at times to realize just how foolish I was then (which of course makes me wonder what future-me will see as equally foolish about me now)).

Oh, and I used archival quality acid-free paper, so there's a decent chance of them lasting for a long time whether or not I scan/type them.

Yup, that about covers it. I'm just hoping that I learn something along the way, so the forms of foolishness progress (or something).
