riverThe quietness of the morning has now been disrupted by Dave and a friend grinding a mixture of llama poop, horse manure and old hay. Its loud and its dusty. And I'm very thankful the breeze is carrying the dust the opposite direction of the house.
Looks to be another beautiful day here. A day to be outside. Got some weeding done the other day, it will continue today ..... the never ending job. I'll try to make it out to the garden for photos today ..... exciting I know. lol
It seems every time I turn around something is delaying our trip to the river. The refrigerator is what started this whole trailer revamping. Buying ice blocks for the old ice box was quite costly and the food was kept cool .... not really cold, ya know? So with a propane / electric refrigerator we would be stylin'. But the refrigerator would not fit through the door of the trailer. But it would fit through a window maybe ..... and the rest is history ..... five new windows, a double sink, a four burner stove / oven combo, a new larger door and of course the refrigerator. Which ran for two days then went wacko ..... the thermostat went out. So now we sit and wait for our $110.00 (choked on that one) thermostat to arrive in the mail.
But .... the electrical is all hooked up now .... inside and out, new tail lights and more lights inside. The insulation is in complete. I have a nice new closet, albeit small. A new canned food closet ..... long and narrow w/ slanted shelves.
I will go out in the afternoons and sit in it sometimes ..... staring out the window picturing the scene from the river. Close my eyes and noise from the cars going down the highway turns into the roaring river. Open them and reality is in front of me. The driveway, the house. The highway. We will get there. We will.
Well, that second cup of coffee is calling. A walk to the garden I think this morning ..... take in some of the cool summer morning air. But I won't forget the earplugs .... the quietness of the morning disrupted.
And with that I have come full circle.
Happy Fathers Day to you dad's out there. Happy Sunday to everyone ..... enjoy your day.
Peace. J.
