Love the Simple Life

Does anyone else feel like running away to a farm?
Times are crazy right now with Covid, wildfires, protests, murder hornets and more. Everytime I close my eyes I dream of being on a quiet, beautiful farm with fruit and veggies growing in my garden, billowing trees that dance in the wind and me in a white flowy bohemian but chic dress. Anyone else having that fantasy right now?? I want to run away from everything and go back to the simple life (I never had).
I live in the suburbs of Austin, with shared greenery, but wish for several acres of land to let small children and animals run free. My husband and I would raise chickens and maybe keep a goat or two for milk and soap while our lavender fields flourish (Sometimes I’m in Vermont or upstate NY and other times I’m in the South of France).
I am a former art teacher who is trying to figure out what to do next. How do I balance my sanity, finances, and creative spirit?

A few days ago our tomato plants lay dying, so we decided to go ahead and pull them out. This left a large empty spot in our planter. A squirrel apparently took a liking to the spot as I saw him checking it out on several occasions. Well, as the hubby and I sat inContinue reading “Sneaky Squirrel!”

San Antonio

Amazingly, San Antonio is only about 90 minutes away from where I live, and yet in the seven years I have lived in Texas, I have only been there twice. That includes this past weekend. The hubby’s sister and brother-in-law were in town for work so we took a short drive down to visit them.Continue reading “San Antonio”
