CHORES

We spent the day yesterday doing chores, school work, and just enjoying ourselves. It's a beautiful intentional way of life. My DD carved a pumpkin, she loves doing creative stuff. I love watching her...lol
We seperated the seeds, so we can roast them tomorrow for a snack, we will put the rest in the compost. We try to use up everything,  if we can't- we share, with our animals, friends, or compost pile. :-)
Yesterday's banana bread, and stuffing casserole turned out wonderfully delicious . Definitely fall comfy food, at it finest. 
We have homeschool activities  to attend to today and tomorrow.  I laugh out loud,  when people say, "But what about socialization?? " It's  always enjoyable to get together with fellow humans, on the same road as us. 
I hope this day finds everyone doing well...

Enjoy, Embrace, and Excel
Blessings,

It's Cooling Down

Helloooooo, it's feeling very "fallish" here. I'm still able to put the laundry out on the line, so I'm very thankful. There is something lovely about having a drawer full of fresh clean clothes. It also feels really good to see about 20-30 off our electric bill. As it gets colder, and the weather starts to change it gets a little trickier to try and get them to dry. We have a woodstove to heat our home, so this winter I'll wash clothes at night and hang them in the house to dry. It's pretty simple, I was them at night before bed, hang them around the house. I get up in the morning and take them down, fold, sort, and put them away. All free!                        REFLECTION Yesterday,  I was at a meeting at friend's house and on the way home, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted this beautiful pond with the surrounded by woods. It was fascinating,  and looked " picture worthy". I stopped the car, and had to ...

Success

Image
The definition of success is different for everyone. Some define it as millions in the bank, and others in many variety of ways. I don't think either are wrong, it's all a matter of perspective.  I have this saying I  use when someone questions me about my lifestyle, who is not really curious, you can tell they are just being judgemental. I say, " you do you, and I do me... I love and accept you for who you are now let me be. " It usually completely changes the conversation in a more postive direction. I love non-confrontational communication... The temperature has really dropped here, we had our first frost last night, and I  started lit the first fire of the season in the woodstove, to take the chill off in here. The Mums had a nice layer of frost on them, and by the time I finished hanging the laundry, it had melted into a heavy dew. You can't see it in the photo, however, the Mum's are so vibrant and full, I wanted to share a photo of them with you...

The Path Back To Home

Image
On our way back home from our walk around the farm. I stopped to take a look around, and snapped a few photos. It's a beautiful little path with various saplings on either side. They are so vibrant this year, and it's nice just to get enjoy it. This time of year for the past 5 years, my life had been a full schedule. This year I'm slowing things down a bit, and taking time to enjoy the leaves.  I hope you get the chance to enjoy this seasons colors, they are fantastic!  Much love!
