a home in the woods.

"The mountains are calling and I must go."

{John  Muir}

we listened. & responded.

& in a clearly God-led process relocated to the woods

where deer roam and bears hibernate and all sort

of wildlife make their presence known.

a small village.

boasting business establishments

soon to close for the season,

  & a quaint grocery market

remaining open.

thankfully!

.we couldn't be more pleased.

the fact there are 4wd trails

practically just outside our door

is of little consequence to the hubs.

oh dear you've no idea ..... eye roll. ♥

as i type a number of squirrels scurry just outside

the window - stopping to watch

i'm sure at one point they'll be regarded as 

the bane of our existence

but for now...?

.delight.

we've many home projects on the roster

and bit by bit will tackle the necessaries

then focus on the whims here and there

as time and energy and $$ allow. in a few weeks

time we've already completed an amazing

amount of tasks - surprising both of us!

then my upper back chose to rebel

leaving me somewhat incapacitated. 

until it fully heals i can tend

to ridiculously light 

to-do's and cooking.

speaking of cooking,

golly gee willikers

i've put up plenty of 

portioned freezer meals

..... sort of like

squirrels storing up for winter!

this has certainly

helped during my

pish-posh

season of strained muscles!

three perks though:

1) i've watched 2 seasons of

the british baking show

2) i read a book

3) the hubs does the dishes

... wink ...

we may throw caution to the wind &

simply finish the little vintage trailer

restoration and take off for a grand

month of travel. or more. don't

be surprised by a knock on your door.

... double wink ...

"Behold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth,

do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

and rivers in the desert."

Isaiah 43:19
