A drive in country ...
A bit of work around the house ...
Some relaxation ...
And admiration of Spring.
My head is in the clouds; the places I want to go and the things I want to do! In the meantime I'm keeping home base intact -- weeding and planting and keeping the washing machine in motion.
The weather has been gorgeous -- unseasonably hot. Yesterday I got my first sunburn (in April!). The flowers have suddenly bloomed and the trees finally have leaves. This is very good for my soul.
The weather should turn later in the week and I am actually looking forward to it cooling down. Oy am I ever satisfied?
I'm still plotting -- trying to figure out how to get us out to the country. In the meantime I'm working on my little plot of land. Today I've decided to plant a small field of lavender. I might even learn to distill the oil. I definitely see sachets in my future.
For the time being I've given up on goats in the city. I'm still moving forward to get the laws changed but it looks like it might take 12 to 18 months (this is when the city will be willing to revisit the legislation). To be perfectly honest I'm hoping we'll find a way to the country before then (fingers crossed). But I still want others to have the option to have goats in town.
In the meantime I've found a fabulous source of local goat's milk. Tomorrow the girls and I will visit the farm and help with the milking -- I can't wait! Oh the cheese and yogurt and caramels ...
Until then adieu!

I've been thinking of you as I find myself knee-deep in my own domestic moving fantasies! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope 2012 will bring us both some good space mojo. Until then, we're on the same wavelength: making the most of what we have in our own backyards. Side yard, in my case--I was planting a few herbs for a kitchen garden yesterday... including some lavender! If you learn how to distill the oil, I'll be watching. :)
I'd love to learn to distill lavender oil! So many projects so little time ...
