Good news! These past six months have flown by, which I think is a very positive thing. I find it hard to really describe my feelings about life here but I'm going to do my best! It's funny the things you just get used to and learn to do without. I thought having the laundry in the basement would be awful after having on the main floor for most of my life. I've barely thought about it. Although it is easier to forget about :) I'm not minding not being barefoot much, but that may have something to do with the fact that I really have to wear shoes because we have a gravel driveway, not concrete.
The house is nice. The basement is not scary. We have a great pantry system, more freezer space, and finally have gotten it more organized. I still occasionally wake up or dream that I'm in my old room but I've not cried over being here at all. And with the bug situation pretty much under control now, life is much better. We're still kind of in "emergency mode" with projects. That's what I call doing the things that crop up because they MUST BE DONE NOW rather than doing things in any sort of order. But some "low priority" things have happened. Low priority things are usually more cosmetic or accessory things - like our school bell or hanging wall art/photos. So we have a balance there. We have chickens and tomatoes and I dried herbs. That was an experience! I learned some good lessons on what NOT to do for the future. We've also had several gatherings. It's funny because we have less building space for people but we are having more/bigger gatherings and it works somehow. I'm actually sitting on the deck as I right this because it is absolutely gorgeous outside and I am loving it. This is still not what I would have picked for my life, nor what I was expecting, but it's been so much better than I imagined/feared. I'm hoping to work towards a more contented feeling but at least I'm not miserable. I'll take neutral on the way to contented :) I think that moving at this point in my life is helping me break from childhood and really take steps to move into adulthood. It's certainly an interesting journey. What would you like to know about the farm? Are there aspects you're curious about or things you've been dying to ask me? Let me know in the comments!
