A New Beginning

It’s time again. I’m ready. On my last post over on blogger, I said perhaps I would blog again one day. That day has come.img_20180729_1827031Many happy healing things have happened since that day. So many things. So many things that I’m not even going to name them all on this first post–assuming that that was even a possibility, which it isn’t. img_20180610_110815For now I’ll just say that we found this amazing little cabin on a hill, in the woods, with four acres around it–and we can call it our own. It’s mostly the shenanigans and adventures of our lives on this resting spot that I’d like to to share with you.img_20180417_203011I share, not just for your benefit, but for mine. To remember well the blessings that God has given us in this season of our lives. img_20180517_134521So here’s to a new chapter. Welcome! It’s nice to be writing again. It’s nice to have you here.img_20180610_1850531

Musings of perimenopausal insomniac.

My man turned 43 yesterday. I’ve done the math a couple times and it’s always ending up the same. Yes. It’s 43. I actually managed to buy and wrap a present without asking him what he wanted. On time! Do we look like it? Sometimes I feel like the last ten years of our lives…

The confusion on the homestead concerning the ban on fairy flight has finally been cleared up. Something happened here on the farm on the day of summer solstice. I was not home that day as we were off to Cheney Lake that day with family, so I have had to glean my information from a…

“What do the fairies use fairy dust for anyway?” I asked the Night Gardener the other night. “It is used to dust anything about to ripen. All summer the fairies add color and sweetness to the fruits and vegetables. Stuff can ripen without but not as well or quickly. Sometimes it can be used to…

Hello,

I’m Lisl

Herein lie the events, ponderings, people, and animals that make up the cacophony of our life.

I had a post about Havilah's baptism written up two weeks ago or so. But I lost it. And now I'm not remembering any of my profound words. But I wanted to remember this day here. Here's to the little girl who grew up into a young lady who wants to follow Jesus. We are blessed. A green prince on a pink throne, frolicking cows (seriously, what could be more dignified?!😂), and a wet chicken who had to be rescued from the cow's water tank. She recovered just fine. First day of School pictures. Yes, we homeschool but it's through a charter school and the kids go to school once a week. Jube is a senior and drove them all to school. I don't even have to do that run this year. Havilah is a freshman. Rennie is in sixth. Rian in 4th. He is also the party. Just my cows in the golden hour. This is my house. And so is that. Apparently we're the ones responsible for fixing it. Plan B is to possibly hang on to it and rent it out. Whatever happens, this mess has to be cleaned up. Working with old logs is not for the faint of heart. There were some interesting decisions made regarding this house over the years. I feel like the half log siding over top of the logs contributed to some of our current issues. I posted a few words on the blog yesterday. Two posts actually. Look for posts with a title for our real life. Posts with just a date for a title are our fun pish-posh. Havilah has been helping with the story line and images. There are strange things happening over on the blog. It's such a strange summer. Closing a chapter of our lives. Wondering what living gracefully between chapters means. One moment feeling excitement for the next thing, another moment grieving what has come to a close. A quick photo dump of our lives yesterday.
