Over The Hump

If this move were a work-week

it would be Thursday morning.

I feel like I have ascended the hardest summit

and am on the downhill side.

Do you have any idea how liberating that is?

Three loads have been deposited in this shop,

while only 1 load went into the house.

Most of the boxes will be brought to the house later.

After the movers have brought in the heavy stuff

and after we have decided if we are changing the flooring.

Yes, we are drowning in boxes right now.

A couple of milestones have been reached with this 

last UHaul rental.

Two summers ago, I cleaned the shop and ended up with

a pile of  bagged garbage that had been sitting there ever since.

1.  I hauled 1,000 lbs of garbage to the transfer station.

1,000 pounds.

2.  I got the horse panels to the farm.  Another milestone

because I have been needing them to use as gates

but needed at least a 17' UHaul to move them.

Again - SO liberating.

The goats are happy we decided to

 re-purposed some truck tires.

Sage fondly remembers how she practically

grew up inside a tire.

What I absolutely love about  the garden,

is that among all the work and worry that has 

taken place over the past weeks,

it has silently continued to grow and thrive.

The peas are sweet and abundant.

Potato blossoms

Kale.

My treasure.

Funny little peppers.

Awesome onion flower.

Knee high by the fourth of July?

We got this covered.

Garden supervisor.

Washtub flowers.

Yes, we are back

or maybe just arrived.

Either way

it is good to have scaled 

the first peak.

We are stronger and more toned.

I felt the first real tinge of the reality of getting to live here.

I am excited and so full of ideas

I just might burst.

Home.
