what we've been up to...

so, I guess I can sort of tell you what we've been up to.
we have been trying to make a move to somewhere inspiring that we'd love to live!

I won't tell you where we're thinking of moving just yet,
just because it may not work out...

currently we're in a transitional phase.
I and my little girl are staying at my husband's sister's place while my husband keeps working out of town.
his sister and her family had been gone for a couple weeks to Japan to visit family.
(yes, his sis is married to a Japanese guy. two Japanese people in the family! interesting, eh?)

while they were gone, I had an animal care taking job at their place.
they have a cat and a bunch of chickens.
I feed them, collect the eggs twice a day and tuck them in at night.
sure chickens taste good and I certainly love eggs, but oh man, I can't stand them...
they kind of creep me out - how them move is very weired and I can't figure out what they're thinking(if not at all)...

I even chopped some wood yesterday! it was a lot of work!!!
I don't think I've ever used an ax before.


what a way of life!
it is very inspiring to be living off grid and be self-sustainable,
but I think I'm going to wait another ten fifteen ears before I get into a country living!

Wow that egg is huge! I know what you mean about chickens. I was thinking someday it would be nice to not have to buy eggs from the supermarket but I don't know if I could handle the chickens. I hope your transition goes well.

P.S. That last image is precious.

Hey,

I had been wondering what was going on..
Hope your family can settle down somewhere you really feel like "fit in".
Country living sounds great for me, but yeah, it can be far later.

Anyway, I am glad that you are doing well. Good luck!!!
