there are plans to travel next summer
to find land we can tend, gardens we can grow, and that simplicity we are longing for.
i outgrew this midwest town moons ago
but for some reason it is where i have needed to be.
it is where i will nurture this growing life inside of me
where we will summer
where we will watch the leaves turn to glorious shades
and where we will winter and birth our little one.
this said, plans are in the beginning stages for our relocation
to land we will steward out west.
so in this time of nesting we are honing our skills
for a more sustainable life ahead.
Z is a proficient wood crafter and extremely handy.
i look forward to seeing his creations.
i want to learn candlemaking, soap making, make butter, yogurt and cheese.
learn to knit, sew clothing, bake varieties of breads and goods,
continue educating myself on gardening, primitive pottery,
simple food preparation, canning and preserving,
fishing and fileting, the list goes on and on...
i am working on a new space to document these adventures
in the meantime
over the next two weeks:
- blueberry picking
- followed by: my first time making blueberry jam
- freezing blueberries to enjoy this fall and winter
- blueberry cobbler, pancakes, smoothies, and icecream
- butter making (hoping to find a source for raw milk)
- yogurt making
- lots of nature hikes (so glad to be moving past the morning/all day sickness)
- swimming
- crafting
- trying three new recipes
