Today was tremendous! Warm, breezy and wonderful. I got
quite a bit done. Got Dixon mailed
off and had another custom order at the post office. I put "artwork"
on the boxes and several people asked about what it was. I told about Dixon
and Spirit Totes (formerly Juju Dolls) and she made an order right in the
parking lot :)
I also got some inventory ready for markets, some work done
inside, ran to town, sold two rabbits, found a 2 or 3 ft Thuja
occidentalis! at walmart of all places.
It will be some time before I can harvest for tinctures and drying but the
wholesome bounty will be worth the wait. This is what my April photo is
about :)
I've been looking for one of these for years.
I also got a little ore done toward getting the floors ready
for painting. I'm going to be doing a little at a time so I don’t have to clear
everything out. And so that i can afford to do repairs as I go too, most things
have to wait until after some bills are paid off but we're getting there :)
I'm trying to balance restoring to the age of the house (78
years old), our needs and wants and my own sensibilities. The colors for the
living room and kitchen are Walnut Bark for the floors with dark sand tiles
around the wood stove hearth and Antique White for the walls, ceilings and
kitchen cabinets. My room and the Bathroom will have the same floor color
(bathroom will eventually have tiles) and Soft Sage walls. My 100 yr old CI bed
will be Antique white. I like simple and serene. The mud room and back porch
Birch walls (tan) and walnut floors until I can get tile at least in the
mudroom. Eventually I will probably tile
all the floors.
I also got a little work done on the outdoor kitchen. I can’t
wait to have a proper summer kitchen but I'm loving my simple outdoor kitchen
too :)
I am so grateful to be so incredibly wealthy. And even more
grateful that I am blessed to true wealth for what it is :)
We are so blessed :)
