It's inevitable, my love for free flow has taken over. After weeks of reading on companion planting and intense square planting I've gone for it... Now my goals is to thin out the extras as I've open casted all my seeds. ;)

The little seedlings I brought from town, not wanting to have another green house living room debacle... Have not all mare it. We don't yet have running water so the green house is a no no zone... And planting is hit and miss.

So my goal this year is to keep at it and see what does grow in unreliable conditions. I love random and convoluted ways so I'm hoping this style of gardening is finally effective. Soon I won't have to worry about it anyways. Water galore!!!!!!

Mr L. buit an insulated bunker for the water tank and a place for his tools. Video to follow.

The workers are putting up the siding. I'm for the first time thinking mmmmmmmm I should be at work instead of working here at the cottage.

I have not had the time to do any rehabilitating work on my back. It's sore but I'm working lifting and hauling... It feels good to be alive.

Get now yesterday's hopes

Why is it that nothing happens until new plans are made thus dropping the value of what I would have gladly been waiting for to a mere inconvenience.  Could it be that there is a law of sorts in play here? When you stop wishing for something and start looking forward to something else what would otherwise be a good news becomes somewhat of a nuisance.

This past weekend, Mr L. and I spend an effectively arduous weekend at the cottage. He hauled uploads of building materials, balanced our 4 wheeler between a flimsy dock, the boat then on the island etc. I on the other hand finally got to relocate the Asparagus to a freshly made permanent bed. I loved being in nature every day talking back to the Peregrin falcons and trying to understand what my relationship will be with the rapacious squirrels. The last morning I heard the big crow fly over the island just as it had last year sounding the end of the rule of the falcons for the season. I did not hear them for the rest of the day and hope that when we go back up today for the remainder of the week they will still be there. If not I'll know that it's seasonal and that they will be back next spring.

I was sore on Monday but since this was going to be a short work week and it still will be relatively speaking I had no time to go get adjusted at the chiro. This priority shift is a good sign. Work is taking over. I hope to be able to incorporated some TAM here and there. My workouts have not resurfaced as a priority yet though. ;( The plan was to head up early this morning for the cottage and spend the remainder of the week there since we will in in town this weekend. I was disheartened to find out late yesterday that I had a casting today at 5pm  Now I'll have to drive up by myself since  Mr. L. has to bring up more material. I much prefer to be the passenger and read out loud from our book of the month. Oh well, good thing the sun sets later now.

It's not because it's taken a long time to get here that it will take a while to get there

There is a disproportionate parallel between to and fro. Nothing relates when time and position ensue. Peace is what we need to carry us through the disparate understanding our vulnerabilities observe.  Life is like that. These days I'm moving a lot more. The physical therapy is helping. I'm slowly starting to introduce some dancing plus I finally got my car back. At one point after a few wrong turns I thought it would take me forever to get back. But in no time I found the highway and was spit out near my destination. Similarly the same became obvious when after hours and hours of data entry, I accepted my lot and kept at it. But somehow I made it to that night's event wearing no makeup and the black business suit I had on. It felt good to be one of the "Ad boys". Sure..... Don't get me wrong,  I was still Mrs Trophy. Mr. Love won 5 tonight. He is mine... 
Home church was off the roof this week. We are talking about technology and it's been nice to find ways this month to either lay off of the new and better and/or have it enhance our worship. The first thing we did is use an app to listen to the Bible. It's the easiest way to start the day with the right kingdom perspective. My babes (seedlings) are growing. I'm still not sure what's gonna happen gardenwise this weekend. I accept overall that setting up the cottage is key. I wish I new of an Asparagus expert. Mine are going unto their 3rd year... meaning I could finally cultivate them. However, for lack of space, I planted them too close to each other and now they are in the way of the crop rotation I had in mind. The soil I bring should first go towards building that bed. Hopefully I'll get around to getting a ton of rocks as well. I miss it. So off to the Island we go for the weekend.
