Happy Belated Easter!

I hope everyone's Easter was a smashing good time. Ours was. Chocolate breakfast, yard work, kite flying and a traditional Sunday feast is how we spent our day. I think I'm still full...

Life's Detours

It is funny how even when you know what you want, and are driven to do/get it, there are always little bumps in road. Its never smooth sailing, well for me anyway.

For a short while I decided to take on a full time job. This was in addition to my part time evening gig and taking a course. Yes, yes, I am certifiable! This job did not last long, but it was nice to see the bank account not depleted at the end of the month. Now, being home during the day, I feel even more blessed. This truly is where I want to be.

Just a few more things to catch up the blog before I start some substantial posts (and maybe even start taking pictures again):
-Bought a truck! All by my little self. Crazy, maybe. One step closer to farm life, for sure.
-Ordered chicks! Backyard chickens. YAY!
-Started tomato, watermelon, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
-In the process of ripping up a strip of lawn around the perimeter of my yard. I'm going to put
up a little fence and grow peas (the kids' favourite) around the whole thing.
-State of emergency declared in the Village of the Damned!
-Made yogurt. And after a month and a half of not baking, everything I make is appreciated by
the little makers.
