Karey's Overflow

'Overflow' refers to me having a wide variety of things I do, from writing, 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.

Elk and Fencing


I know this isn't the greatest picture, but I'm in a hurry - off to do my MOPS Mentor Mom thing. But see the elk? They're meandering out of the woods across the way. This is why we have an electric fence. I now enjoy seeing them without worrying about my gardens.

I have a fence too -- deer are wont to devour all that I delight in growing. And so they play OUTSIDE while I play INSIDE. Thus, all are happy once more. : D

I have much to catch up on around here (like giggling with you over that delightful pic of your grandbaby -- adorable!) as I have been away at play with my new grain mill. I have posted some recipes with links back to you. I am enjoying the hearth so much these days as the girls and I have wholeheartedly embraced a deeper level of cooking. Last night . . . whole wheat pizzas. FANTASTIC! With three extra sets of hands I was only slightly exhausted from tossing enough for six!

I so enjoy reading through your thoughts and ideas. I am limiting my computer time more and more as there is just so much more to do and see with Spring on the horizon. Know that I read, even if I scamper away without leaving a note.
