Where has this year gone? I feel like we should still be in March… not June. I honestly can’t believe how quickly time has gone. We have only been on our little farm for about 6 months yet it feels like a lifetime already.
Today, we have some landscaping getting done in the yard. I can’t wait for this to be completed because it is going to look so awesome! We are also giving the inside of the house a paint touch up. Currently we have deep pink and blue walls (not at all our thing) so just going over everything in white to freshen it up until we can renovate. I can’t wait to one renovate our house, although I fear that may be a few years away now.
I have been really focusing on enjoying the small things in life. I have filled my days with family, gardening and playing with the dogs. Life is often too short and this world that we live in applauds the ‘burnt-out busy’. I don’t get it. Sure, I love when work is flat-out and we are creating magic. But no sleep? So busy you can’t even see family? Working yourself sick? Not for me. I think we should bring back the culture of slowness. Not laziness, don’t get me wrong. But just removing the guilt if you want a day to walk on the beach, drink coffee and read a book.
We are going away camping with the family this weekend for my brothers birthday. I can’t wait to have this precious time with the family, making new memories. I’ll be sure to report back on the campsite. It, unfortunately, isn’t dog friendly so all the family dogs (six in total) are going to have a holiday at the Grandparents house. We have a dog sitter coming to stay with them but they will have 4 days of river swims, running, sleeping and general dog business. They will love it.
Then when we get home we have to repair a broken pipe in our septic tank, will keep you updated on how that goes as we have never done anything like it before!
I really am going to try be more consistent on here. I have just let life get the better of me, but not anymore (see above about slowness not laziness….)
Until next time!
