My Possibilities Book ~ A Place of My Own

As I sat in my kitchen and looked out the window, I realized that the big barn will gone in the near future.  I'll no longer see it out my window when I am cooking, baking, washing dishes, canning and such.


I'm contemplating where I want to build a place of my own.  No kids allowed.  Kind of like a man has a "man cave."


Possibilities are a room in the new barn, screening in or building around the patio off my bedroom, and a wall tent.  There is the possibility of a trailer or camper or cabin too.


Very possibly, I could put in a cooking area as well.




I think I'll start a page in my "possibilities" book and start putting positive ideas into it.


In the meantime, I'll enjoy the view from the kitchen window, and possibly set my easy-up tent back up.   Shhh!  Don't tell the kids.

I love the idea of having 'a place to call your own'. Funny, though, when I mention that to my kids (all grown) and my husband (retired 2 1/2 yrs now) ...I get funny looks. Like a calf looking at a new gate. Do you get that?
The thing is--I NEED alone time. Because I don't get alone time...my faith has weakened, my dreams are fading, and I'm numb to who I am. But it could be my age...and well, hormones. ;O

The last picture of your wall tent lit up at night...looks peaceful. Like I'd like to be there hidden in there somewhere!

BTW...I used to keep journals, now I blog. But you still keep a journal AND BLOG...and you have many, are they hard to keep up with? Will you be leaving them to your daughters?
I'm feeling inspired lately in so many areas. When I come here...I feel inspired to journal!

, have a great day today! Pat
I journal and blog as well. My journal has pictures of things I like, ideas and stories. I cut out things from magazines, newspapers and pictures off the internet. It keeps me calm and future goals ever present in my mind. I agree with a place of your own. With so many kids and grandkids around here all the time, I need that place. Mine is a hill by the woods on the farm where I sketch to relieve pressure, but little good in the rain or deep snow!

Kris,
Yes time alone is very calming. You have a camper don't you? Well I would fix that all up and use that for my play house.
The barm will be missed I'm sure. love an old barn.

Nancy Jo,
we borrow a pop-up camper from family, however it broke. The last person to borrow it was cranking it up and the cable snapped. I hope it's fixed soon. I'm fixin' for a getaway.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
