Today was a good day!
Today was a good day. I am happy. The weather has been so delightful lately: sunny and warm. Here, warm is in the low 20s, but it is very pleasant indeed. I like the way the sun streams in through our windows and doors. It makes this little cabin bearable. Except wasps come inside on […]
Time for a Bed
Matthew is in the bottom bunk now. He is very cute because he tends to sleep on his belly, with his bottom in the air, curled up in just one corner of the full-sized bed. This evening Monte and I walked up the hill to the proposed house site. When we came back inside, we […]
Mesmerised

Swimming and Stuff
Today was quite warm – hot even! With temperatures reaching 30 degrees, we all went to the local pool and had a lovely swim! We’re thinking about getting a season pass, so we can go whenever we want to. Georgia had a fabulous time and is a natural in the water. She “swam” at least […]
Why Fangorn???
Why Fangorn? Without going into too much detail, our property consists of several – 6-7 – acres of forest. The forest is noisy and it seems to be alive! We hike in there and are reminded of the ents in Lord of the Rings. We keep expecting Treebeard to appear and lead the way! So, […]
