love what you do ... do what you love

There is in life a time for all things.
A time to laugh, a time to weep, a time to build a time to rest.
Springtime here is a time to build ... build gardens, chicken coops, pathways, friendships - build it up baby so Summer can get you fed. Build now, rest a bit in July and do the can can in August.

It's a good pace, but it doesn't leave a lot of time to do things like write and peer through pictures.




But with all things -- there is a time if you let it in.

It's good to build but important to dream as well as reflect. This is my reflection time. What does my life look like in my own words and perspective. It's where I share with you what we are doing. It's a bridge.

Right now I am most impressed by my guy learning how to build. If Lucinda Williams can become a rock star in her 40's then hey, it seems my man can learn to build in his 30's. It's not how it's always done, and it seems he's not such an old dog yet. Look at his tricks

There is a picture of me around this age with a frog. I can still remember finding it and the farm where we were gathered -- my great grandfather's home. Sweet to have the little creatures help us remember lost memories.

It's our path to freedom in loving on the day to day... it all gets built, one rock at a time. When you love your work, then you love your life.
My little one helped me make this path. It's her idea -- paths through the garden. She loves to be in the middle of it all. I am not sure that this will stay forever, but it sure made for a fun afternoon and let us work alongside each other.

Then, she realized that she was working with MUD and that she was a KID with legs that were just aching for some cool wet freedom. "Hippos use mud to keep off the mosquitoes" ... well, who knows where she heard that, but it stuck and here we are!


"Mama, when I grow up I want to work like this -- with mud and rocks -- I like it." mmmmm.... Me too little one. This is a good life here.
