I blinked

Sometimes I’m awed by how quickly things can change. It feels like I blinked and went from a place of uncertainty to being thrilled with our new home. The house isn’t much to look at and the land needs a lot of work, but we haven’t even finished moving in and I already feel more at home there than I ever did at the farm we were renting – even if most people would consider it the nicer place.

Money’s tight from the move, every muscle in my body aches, and I occasionally get a skosh overwhelmed by all there is to be done, but I’m also filled with this inexplicable peace and contentment. This past few weeks has been a good reminder for me that no matter how big an obstacle might seem or how how scary a problem is, in the blink of an eye, everything can change for the better.

If I’m not around much this week, it’s because I’m busy building chicken coops out of old wood pallets. Or maybe it would be more appropriate to call them chicken condos. Either way, I’ll post pics when I’m done.

And I’ll also be busy loving on my goats, ’cause they’re cute and I can.
