Dear blogging friends, I just want to say I am still alive and well. Life lately has really derailed my ability to blog and follow blogs. My family and I have been in transition again, as we neared the end of our one year lease we decided the place we were renting was not ideal for our large family.
Fortunately my daughter in law found an amazing home for us to rent on Craigslist. Five fenced acres with covered stalls for the horses, room for the dogs to run free, lots of gardening space and privacy out in the country. We are so much happier.
I will be relieved when all of the boxes are unpacked and we settle in better but if I have to rent I could not ask for a more ideal home. I could even have a dairy goat and a few chickens here.
I am very excited about what I will be able to do here.
We stubbornly moved every one of the big half barrel veggie plants we had going and we continue to get a steady supply of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and tomatillos which we don't quite know what to do with (they are extremely prolific). We also have eggplant and pumpkins coming along.
I am still working way too many hours but somehow I have managed to find a rhythm to it all and am making it work.
Summer came to Florida early this year and with a vengence, we have had consistent temps 95 to 100 degrees every day for about 2 weeks. We finally are beginning to get some regular rain, thank goodness because the whole place was beginning to look scorched.
So life goes on, I hope to catch up with your blogs and lives soon, I have missed my blogging pals,
Here's to a happy summer.
A move is a big job indeed! Best wishes for health and happiness in your new home!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found a great place to rent. Who knows... we rented a house for a year and then ended up buying it from the owner... maybe you could work something out.
ReplyDeleteGood luck unpacking. What a job.

Dear Laura, I know you all are traumatized from the las years goings on, but the rest of the year should begin your healing. Happiness will surely overtake you with the new place. You all can be your best selves.
ReplyDeleteI am way too excited for you, looking forward to seeing you in blogland as you are able.
Summer did find us early this year, and you are right it was early too!
Blessings!
I was just thinking about you :)

So glad that you have found a good home and are able to be doing some things that bring you joy. Looking forward to reading about your new adventures.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to find a place that felt more like a home, a place to do what you want. I hope you're able to getting the unpacking done (as much as necessary, anyway) so that you can get back to doing what you like to do.
ReplyDeleteHope to hear more about your new place soon!
Congrats on the new home! Moving is so difficult, glad it's almost behind you!
