Solo Aqui: Waiting


We are in a bit of a holding pattern with this whole move-thing. Let me just say, waiting is not one of my strong suits. I am, unfortunately, not always the most patient person I could be. So what are we waiting for?


  • Waiting for our loan to fully process
  • Waiting to hold that Yard Sale I talked about having...um a month ago?
  • Waiting to completely throw my entire life into boxes
  • Waiting to sell certain furniture pieces
  • Waiting to talk to certain people to schedule a time to visit them (Ack! No idea when this will happen!)
  • Waiting to go on any shopping sprees(like this would ever happen, but I since can't do it right now,  I sort of want to go um, shopping for shoes).
  • Waiting to make plans for Thanksgiving
  • Waiting, waiting...waiting.
This process of waiting has made me a little antsy. So, I said, screw this living like a crazy nomad out of a box. I need flowers. Since, you know, flowers fix everything (right?). And since, I have packed most of my vases I rummaged through the recycling bin, and found a jar that was mostly clean. Marched myself out to my yard and scavenged for the brightest, happiest bunch of petals I could find. Filled that jar with water and tossed those lovely late summer blooms in. Ahhh...suddenly it's not as hard to wait when there are flowers on the table. 

What have you been waiting for lately?

Solo Aqui::Homestead Dreaming

I meant to post this yesterday, but I guess with all this day dreaming...it sort of got away from me. Enjoy!
...........................................
We've had a lot of time to just sit and dream lately. With a sick child and the weather bouncing between pouring rain and bouts of sunshine we have found ourselves in doors a lot... thinking, scheming, and dreaming about what is up next for us.


The plants around our home are in full bloom and we just can't help but think what life could be like if we had the ability to submerge our hands into the Earth unencumbered. No worries about digging a hole in land we could call our own. There is movement and change stirring within us, pushing us to our next step. 


That next step has taken up a lot of our free time. Searching, reading, and driving as we look at open spaces that we may some day call our own. For now it is nothing more than dreams, but reality has to start somewhere.


 It also didn't help that our first issues of Mother Earth News arrived last week. Those pages are just filled with images that call to those rooting dreams. Beckoning us to eat, build, and live with intention. 

What have you been dreaming about lately?
