Good for my soul

Today Joel and I walked around the property and planned for our future. We decided where we will dig up for a garden on Saturday. I have started our plants and they are growing beautifully! Some will have to be directly sewn, but many that will take near 100 days to mature were put into growing pots a couple of weeks ago. We decided where the future corral and shelter for the horses and hay will go. We decided where we will be planting the fruit trees that we picked up. We also decided where to put the pool :)  Tonight he is going to his mom's to pick up my clotheslines poles. I can't wait to have some crisp clothes and sheets dried by the sun and the wind! While we were out we listened to a woodpecker peck at something metal. We finally found the silly little bird sitting on one of the rail road lights, just pecking away to his heart's content! I think he might have brain damage, ha! I saw my neighbor yesterday plowing the fields. It was fun to watch the tractor plowing back and forth and raising and dropping his spades. This Friday and Saturday I have to work in the flower beds and move a bunch of hostas and lilies. I love where we live! I feel so happy here. It's good for my soul.


I was going to put in my notice this week to quit my job, but then Joel told me to wait while he makes some changes at work. We figured that we've been losing money with my new job. I need to quit, but it's so hard for me. I really love this job! I love the people I work with! I love the experiences I'm getting. But the reason for the job at this time was to hang onto this house and keep us going in our dream, and if that's not happening I have to make hard choices. I will know more next week on what I have to do.
