As some of you know, we've had more than a few, shall we say, bumps in the road to our getting settled here. None of them has made me seriously question our decision to move. But, it's sometimes nice - in a twisted kind of way - to be reminded what a good decision it truly was. Case in point - Pam's House Blend. I check in every now and then because it is very up-to-date and it's really tough to keep up with GLBT news via the mainstream press. But, the last couple of times I've been reading, I've had the thought, "I'm so glad we got out." I mean, it's insane - the things that continue to happen down there. Ugh.
It's Sunday. I should be installing more ClosetMaid stuff or folding clothes, but I'm being lazy. Three cheers for just being lazy on a Sunday. It's taken me years (and questionable health) to just be lazy. The fire is going, just enough to take the chill off. P is baking bread. 8YO is playing the Wii. I'm going to go read about gardening. It was snowing this morning, probably about 8 cm. But, it's already melted off the railings, etc. and is 3/36 right now. Woo-hoo. I've also finished a rather voluminous document that I will be hand delivering to our builder's lawyer tomorrow. Okay, so I'm not 100% lazy. Maybe when that gets resolved - not that I'm hopeful that will happen soon - my perpetually stiff neck will go away.
I am so very ready for spring. Friday we picked up a bunch of seeds and the things we need to start them inside. We're going to start square foot gardening with two 4x4 boxes. Yesterday we picked up a really nice rosemary plant - it smells delightful! Since 8YO didn't have ski class, we also went to the Farmers' Market and picked up some gouda, Vlaskaas, smoked salmon, samosas, and a pork roast. I just love our farmers' market. And, we went to choose the stain for the table that we're having made. We'll have in less than two weeks. Can't wait! I'll post a photo when it's here.
So, there you have it. Even though we're back to a few weeks of meeting the morning bus in the dark, I love having more light in the evening. Love it, love it, love it. I sense a better mood already!

Hey, you were at the Farmer's Market Sat. March 7? We were too! We were there from about 10-11. We shop there every week for naturally raised chicken and meat, organic veggies, awesome cheeses, bread and baked goods, home-made doggie biscuits, I could go on and on, but you know what I mean. It's an absolute must for food shopping in Freddie.
Three cheers for being lazy on Sunday!
Yes, 8YO's ski class was cancelled so we were able to zip into town, albeit a bit late. I think it was about 11 when we got there. It's one of my favorite things about F'ton. And, yes, the cheese place is fabulous!
I really enjoyed this posting.
I think what I miss most about our house besides the 2000 sq feet, is my garden. I envy your seed shopping. :)
