Friday....September 5, 2014...

Feeling a bit un-nerved the last few weeks with so many things happening at onced.  Spent the day relaxing and spending time in the word.  Met with a very dear kindred soul this evening.  My spirits are lifted and im ready to face the next couple of weeks....then another dinner date will fix things onced again.  lol. Dinner at a new to us restaurant...Cafe Bruges.  The best beer selection and the dessert was pretty amazing too!  Headed to bed to rest up for the rest of the weekend.
Be well,

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...Bright sunny skies that are FULL of humidity.

I am thinking...How much I am longing for FALL.

I am thankful...A new grandbaby to be born in April and praying hard for MORE and soon!

In the kitchen...A pot of chili even though its way to hot to eat let alone cook.

I am wearing...Yoga clothes!

I am creating...Finally the home!

I am going...To be on the road alot over the next few weeks.

I am wondering...How we will ever get it all done.

I am reading...The word only at the moment.

I am hoping...To be settled in by winter.

I am looking forward to...Time with family over the weekend.

I am learning...To think before speaking.

Around the house...A MESS !

I am pondering...Not much these days.

A favorite quote for today..."And at the end of the day your hair should be messy, your feet dirty and your eyes sparkly" ~Shanti

One of my favorite things...The sound of locust in the heat of summer.

A few plans for the rest of the week:....Many trips to the property, Holy Yoga, Dinner date with a friend, celtic music on the mountain in one of our all time favorite spots.

A peek into my day...

Holy Yoga.  A new form of yoga to me but I am truely in Love!

Monday....September 1, 2014....

So much work was completed today and yet so much more to do!  Larry finished insulating the ceiling in the living room.  Now onto the kitchen.  Planted more rock plants in the bank beside the house and the two crepe myrtles at the gate entrance.  Also planted another plant on the hill at the entrance.  Hoping to get some straw and more grass seed and finish the gated entry this coming weekend.  Also cut down a few trees in the back yard woods.  Hoping to get that area done enough to enjoy the chair hammock in time for fall.
Be well,

Sunday...August 31, 2014...

Finally we made our way to church onced again.  Felt like forever.  To Cassie, Karl, and Keiras church that is.  We are so very excited to begin the journey of finding a home fellowship onced we actually move.  After church we met all of the family in Hancock Md for a 6 mile bike ride on the rails and trails.  The weather was extremely hot and quite humid but it was a beautiful ride.  Afterwards we had dessert at a local new restaurant.  One that we will definately be visiting often as the menu is quite nice!  Back to the house to relax for the evening.  More time on the property working tomorrow.
Be well,

Saturday....August 31, 2014...

Started on the insulation in the ceiling today.  It was so hot in there I personally thought I would pass out a couple of times.  We bought eight sheets and was only able to hang four.  Karl and Cassie came for a visit and karl helped larry some.  Also we planted a new corkscrew willow in the back yard that is truely lovely.  Stained two of the three wooden kitchen cabinets a green tinted stain which I am really loving!  Larry also hung the two kitchen ceiling lights.  They were a very bright red with a gold band but he painted them black with a silver band.  LOVE them!  Not quite sure what we will do with the beam right beside them though.  Considering removing that one only.  Glad for the long weekend ahead to get maybe the rest of the ceiling insulation fnished.
Be well,

Monday....August 25, 2014....

Woke not quite feeling so well.  Struggle all day with a sinus headache.  Larry is off work and mowing for his mom while I rest and knit.  So excited to get this new cardigan pattern finished for fall.  He will have some leftover spaghetti from his mom for dinner.  Me a cup of iced coffee will suffice.  Good news....The electrician will meet me at the cottage at eight am Friday morning to put in the pole and his part of the electric.  Next will just be the electric company bringing the lines to the pole.  Praying we get to be moved in in a short two weeks!
Be well,
Lisa

The Weekend....

Wow was busy and oh so good.  Spent all three days back and forth to the property.  Saturday it rained and was cool and dreary all day.  I went to the cottage early in the morning with Reggie then Larry and his friend whom is an electrician came and they spent the absolute entire day there but the cottage is completely wired and ready to go.  Sunday we met James and Katie there and He helped Larry tie up some loose ends on the electric.  We dug the holes for the coming two corkscrew willows and planted a willow bush at the driveway where the gate will soon be as well as some new red raspberry bushes in the bramble patch.  I also planted a few more plants on the bank behind the house and a new plant on the hill at the driveway.  Bathed and relaxed a few hours before settling in for the evening.
Be well,
Lisa
