Don't listen to country radio after a breakup!

Bless me for I have been remiss, I see it has been 2 years since my last post!

Well... here it is 2019 and coming up on my 69th birthday.  In the midst of a lot of chaos we manage to grow the farm.  I continue to be amazed that it 'all' comes together.  I saw this post from my sister on Facebook from LR Knost that seem to capture the ups and downs of these 4 years.

"Life is amazing.  And then it's awful.  And then it's amazing again.  And in between the amazing and the awful its' ordinary and mundane and routine.  That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life."

We have a second barn with an apt. upstairs for our visitors!

We have added a glass enclosure on the side of my barn.  The windows are the 1840 windows from the main house.  I now have a place for my bee equipment and we have an aquaponics garden setup!

This allows me to plant seeds in March

Lettuce, thyme, chard with no bugs!

safe from the bees!

 Learning tools include: flexibility, humility, ingenuity, some skill with hammer, nails, and screws, and lots of fortitude.  There is not always a plan, but a movement towards an idea that materializes along the way!  

Sometimes it all comes together!

 And so we move into 2019 with a little more knowledge, a little more confidence, and still lots to learn.

And so we come to the title of this blog - don't listen to country radio after a breakup.  There were heartbreaking breakups - my partner of 30 years.

                                      And it's breathtakingly beautiful."
