Enjoying a moment

I’m sitting at the window with my mint tea enjoying a few moments this morning. I have a view of a doe and 2 little ones eating the grasses outside and Belle one of my cats, sleeping next to the wood stove. I just got back from the Farmer’s Market in Lunenburg with our bounty.

I am very excited for next season when we will be growing here. Our greenhouse is to arrive in a few weeks. I know it’s late, some say Winter has started but I know we’ll get it up before the deep frost sets in. Garlic planting on the other hand… I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this weekend.

Yesterday with the cold it showed us just how badly this house is insulated. Thank goodness the attic will be done today and we can continue with the main floor walls. We have a wonderful wood stove called a Kachelofen; however we feel we are currently heating the outdoors. I have also been sick this week so I haven’t been much help. Thank goodness my friend has been here to do all this with me. Anyway, somehow I need to do a wash. I see drying racks in my dining room’s future. Bungee cords rock!
