Well, here we are, at the end of 2020. This is our 3rd full year, and 4th winter, of living on the farm. We set up goals to accomplish the task of getting this place cleaned up and fixed up. Of course, goals are always flexible, since life has a way of blowing right through … Continue reading 2020 Goals: Review and Reset

Three years ago today, in the wee hours of the morning, we finally made it. My older daughter and I, with our two cats, a couple of fish, and the van stuffed with plants and as much more as we could squeeze in, arrived here at the farm. We were finally reunited with my husband … Continue reading Three

Looking back: together again
Two years ago today, we were finally reunited as a family. We had some close calls on the drive over, but we made it. Our work was just beginning. We had almost an entire house to pack before we could have our own stuff delivered. But we muddled our way through and managed to survive … Continue reading Looking back: together again
Looking back; a year, and two, ago today
Two years ago, the movers arrived. So began what was probably the worst move we've had. Okay, so there may have been one other that was worse, but that was because we all came down with the flu and got so sick, I actually collapsed from illness and exhaustion. Which has never happened to be … Continue reading Looking back; a year, and two, ago today

One Year Ago Today: the disaster of the movers
Things have been pretty quiet around here, lately. We've been slowly decorating the house for Christmas, wrapping a few gifts, getting my husband to a medical appointment. Tomorrow, the girls and I will be making a trip into the city. Pretty boring and domestic stuff. Thinking back to last year, I have really learned to … Continue reading One Year Ago Today: the disaster of the movers
A year ago today; looking back
It's still hard to believe it's been ... only? ... already? a year since we moved out here. After finally being reunited, we didn't have much time to rest. There were some unexpected runs into the city to get things like a small tank for our fish. Too late for them, unfortunately. We survived a … Continue reading A year ago today; looking back
A year ago today – we made it!
Well, today is it. The one year anniversary for all 4 of us arriving at the farm. We arrived shortly after midnight. We still remember the final stretch. Almost 1800 kilometers of driving (with a broken door), and less than 10 minutes from home. I saw a shadow flash across oncoming headlights and stomped on … Continue reading A year ago today – we made it!
A year ago today – driving
One year ago today, my older daughter and were on the road. The original plan for the move was for my older daughter and I to stay at a hotel for a couple of nights, after the movers took our stuff, so that we could do at least some clean up in the townhouse before … Continue reading A year ago today – driving
