country roads

Updates, wow
Lets see my half an hour driving is now a beautiful yet tiring hour drive. I have always marveled at my little valley here, the trees the wildlife...but you see so much more on those back country roads. The route I take has little traffic, and some huge hills that will be very dangerous this winter so still finding an alternate route. But man they are fun! Let go of the petals and coast you hit 85 in a few seconds. I only did it twice, but it was sooo worth it. I am mostly afraid of hitting deer that often cross these roads. I did get to see a few on the old covered bridge. What a sight.
I wake at four in the morning now, and slowly muster the muscles to move. So much work out here I feel rather stiff most mornings. We haven't lit the wood stove yet and without electric heat you can feel the difference. Each day there is a duty to be had, chopping oak, harvesting veggies, cutting back the blackberries, digging a trench, moving the hundred pound red hot poker weed! haha that is a feat to be had. But I couldn't part with the beautiful bush so we had to move it.
I have kept in contact with a few folks, they often send an email to say whats new or how are you coping? I don't show it.....but I love it. I have sent out so many emails to say whats up and not really gotten alot in return that the few that have returned mean alot to me. This area of my life has turned upside down in the last few months and a few have seemed to be aware of the tides. I think it takes a keen mind and inner connection to really pick up on it. Sometimes I notice its the way I talk. Alls well here, and I finish to the ending part of my dialouge with all the good things everyone else is doing...not mentioning much of me. I was called on this habit, and really had nothing good to say. My cheeks were red and I was rather embarrassed. Well, I could be coping better..but Goddess have it...I ain't. The air is different, the people as well. And with all the inner changes I have outside ones to match. Sometimes I have to tell myself tomorrow doesn't exist, just to breathe a solid breath for the moment...and not be overwhelmed.
Its not a bad change, although reading this it certainly sounds like it! It feels good, just really really freakin hard. Spiritually, emotionally and physically.
I have my friend kyle coming down this weekend. I am so excited. This will be his second trip out and we will further discuss octobers get together. He has friends in this area that want to come over and celebrate the moons and holidays sometime. I am flattered he thinks the work we have done here is worth showing off. hehe proud is a good feeling.....
