Sunday Happy

Ah summertime. I hope that you are finding yourself on a beach or river(or someplace you want to be) with nothing but time to relax and enjoy yourself. It's Sunday and we all need to relax today. We deserve it.

The past week has been pretty satisfying. The house is going gang busters. We had some insulators come and blow insulation into the walls on the first floor and later next week the upstairs is going to be spray foamed insulated.... And then we can move it (No not really) but this is huge. But now got to get ready for the guys to come and finish so we have to hall ass ans finish wiring, prepping and all the good stuff that they need us to do. We got a deadline to meet, but once that's done its on. We can start hanging sheet rock (who wants to help?) and finish the bathrooms and kitchen and everything!1 AAAAHHHHH!, but we are all good. It's getting done and starting to seem like we might actually get to move in before the winter.

But it wasn't all work. The days when the insulators where at the house we took off for the mountains and found some rivers. The mr went fishing, the pup went swimming (and now I don't need to give him a bath for a while) and I played with river rocks and read. We also visited with the bees up on the roof just to check how the ladies are doing and so far this season they are doing great, buzzing along like the bees do.

Today is one of those days that could go either way. We can work, maybe we really should work, but it's suppose to get hot and humid and I really don't want to. What I really want to do is go to the library and pick up (and drop off) books, go see the littles that just got back from Germany and share the watermelon that has been sitting on my counter all week with them. Maybe even go for a bike ride and take a nap.  Sounds nice right?  Hum. We shall see. At least I know there is a carrot popsicle in the freezer with my name on it.

happy bits

Weird week. I feel like I have been so busy, but can't quite figure out with what. I guess winter can do that to you, you know, when leaving the house kind of feels like a chore. Yup, it's mid February when its cold, windy, snowy, and kind of mah. But it's cool cause I feel like it's all down hill from now. Soon we will be looking at an extra hour of daylight and hopefully some above freezing temps! (I think we have had a record amount of days below freezing here in VT) No, I am not complaining, just looking forward to getting out of hibernation.

Anyway, here is some internet stuff I have found fun and interesting this week

• I think this plant is pretty brilliant …And I love the name!album
•  Jose Gonzalez new album….Such a great artist.
• Yes I will be doing  these elbow hearts to all of my sweaters (or maybe just one)
• Um, yes I would walk or better yet, live, in  these forests
• And why don't I have this?… Coolest popper ever!
• This is so true..10 Things You Should Know Before Getting Into a Relationship with Someone Who Loves Food.. Respect the knives!!!!

And some life stuff from the week...It was farm share week and yes, that's a kohlrabi bulb. And no, I have never in my life seen a kohlrabi as big as this one. It is for real bigger then my head.  If I didn't know my farm was organic, I would think that they were growing these in toxic sludge. Wondering what I am going to do with it? Come back this week and see.

Oh my love… A few days ago I had my super comfy warm rag wool mittens stolen from me at the gym. I know, I was so pissed, but hopefully whom ever stole them is getting good use out of them. Anyway, to my Valentines Day surprise, the mister got me a new pair and sewed a heart into the palm of one. So freaking cute right!

 I like to take a look back at old pictures when I am feeling the crazy.. This one makes me think of summer and our honey bees. (That's the mister digging into the top bar hive)

 The blue sky! And oh man am I craving some traveling. I think this was taken somewhere is Colorado. I want to go back.

Well that's about it. Hopefully where ever you are, you are warm and staying out of crazy. Just wait, a few more weeks we will have more daylight and I bet even some above freezing temperatures because it has to happen, right?

Have a great week!
