Let us celebrate

November was a hard month. It was a very difficult time filled with lots of tears, anger, and the never-ending questioning of purpose and truth in this strange and often confusing reality. Needless to say, it has been hard to get anything done in such a state. But we have now made it to December and the breath of life continues to animate the world around me. I may as well join in the action, right?

The exciting news....We have moved into our home!!!! And it is everything we thought it would be and more. We celebrated with an old and musty bottle of wine I brought back from New Zealand years ago. We still have months of work to do, painting, sanding and sealing doors and windows, we need to make countertops cause as of now there is no kitchen sink, and etc etc. But who cares that there is no kitchen sink!!!! We are waking up on our farm!!!!
Other news---we have had our first anemone bloom from the hoophouse. They look REALLY good. I don't think they'll come on strong til February though. Also exciting, the tulips we're trying to force for x-mas are looking mighty healthy. They are a bit more spindly than I'd like, but I think they will be beautiful. The tulips made it into the house before we did. This speaks highly of my love affair with them. Stuart was not happy about it.
