Although I’ve been really silent, I’m still over here watching sunsets -the sunset makes a daily showing at our supper table -I love my big west facing dining room window. Watching sunsets and:
Slogging through the last month of winter,
Stalking other people’s blogs, but not posting on my own for months. It should be the other way around.
Cooking for my family (how does this become a full time job when you have a kid?)
Organizing my already organized grocery shopping to new levels of organization. In my defence it was basically the coldest day of the year so what else was there to do.
Pulling a calf sled with a toddler in it behind me on excursions into the winter or spring or whatever season it happens to be each day.
I have a low key winter weaving project I haul around with me annoyingly whenever I think I might need to sit still for a minute.
We’ve had a winter of slow empty evenings, which is my best.
I’m slowly finishing the walls in my laundry room. It’s more work than I want it to be; sanding is so tedious. sometimes I get discouraged and strike for a while between working on it.
I have tiny plants, hundreds of them maybe. Starting herb and veg and flower seeds is how I cope with Saskatchewan winter. The end goal is of course mature plants to put outside in May and June but even if half of them don’t live that long, they’ve already done their work by getting me outside to my greenhouse every day from February to May and supercharging my serotonin levels daily.
My 22 month old still doesn’t sleep through the night, not even sometimes, not even close. If you want to judge our parenting I’m okay with that but I’d prefer advice or lived experiences similar to this instead.
I got a new mop, and it changed my life.
