FOR TODAY
Outside my window... the poplar leaves are blowing in the breeze.

I am thinking... I hope I'm not getting sick. :o/

I am thankful... that I have a lovely "future-farm" to go walk on today, but still have a place to live with people I love, until time comes to move to the farm.

From the learning rooms...my children are thriving here at school and I've only seen one B since the beginning!

In the kitchen... the beef stew Mama made smells wonderful and I can't wait for everyone to get home so we can all dive in!

I am wearing...one of my new favorites: my long, tiered, denim skirt, tie-dyed t-shirt and my Sketcher sandals that I love love love.

I am creating... a legacy for my children.

I am going... to go stake out the goats pen on the farm this afternoon. I hope! <3

I am wondering...if we should / could keep animals there before we move there ourselves?

I am reading... Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace. I am hoping... we will get a LOT done at the farm today.

I am looking forward to... just getting over there with a tummy still warm and full of home made beef stew!

I am hearing...the distant sound of a truck engine and wondering if it might be my tribe.

Around the house... there is always much to do- PILES of washing and folding to be done.

I am pondering... planting the orchard this next week and wondering if it's still a bit soon.

One of my favorite things... the smell of freshly cut hardwood.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Off to do birthy stuff tomorrow, then home to make more home-made laundry soap and probably more laundry. ;o)

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

  1. I recommend you do NOT put the animals on the property until you are living there.

  4. Thanks, everyone. :o)
    Paw... yeah, I agree. I definitely need to live there before I have animals. I guess we will probably start with a few chickens and maybe a couple goats here. The lady of the house said we could so....
