It has been difficult for me to deal with almost nothing to do. Hey how long does it take to clean an RV from stem to stern? I have been crocheting for charity and family and have taught myself to knit, but even that feels like sloughing off after years of working long hours.
Yesterday I felt like a new woman. In the north we have the luxury of hooking up on a large piece of property owned by our friends. We are close enough to easily be together and far enough to have privacy and alone time. I have been given the gift of a large chunk of ground to garden. Yesterday was my first day to play in the dirt.
I am cleaning out a section around some trees and adding the ground around the water hook up so it doesn't need to be mowed. Plans are for an area for each of the grandkids, a sandbox and swing set, a place for the picnic table, flowers, some veggies and to clean up around the berry bushes.
I feel alive and with a sense of purpose. I love working out of doors and I love gardening. My husband loves being left alone in front of the TV set. I sat out until late at night by the campfire and today the Grands are coming to play in the dirt too. Life is good!
