Change is Constant

I didn't mean to be gone for so long. I didn't mean to write almost nothing in the past few weeks. I didn't mean to change my life completely. But all these things happened anyway.

My family is in transition. We have vacated our house and are now living in an apartment. We are selling off a ton of large items and will be paring down other small items in our journey from a 3 bedroom mobile home with 10 acres of land, to a 2 bedroom apartment with a 10 foot patio. What will become of the house? Likely it will sit on the hill until it breaks in half, slides down to the bottom, and is reclaimed by nature. Then that piece of land will be truly beautiful again.

We tried to do a lot with that land. We wanted to grow our own food, and before I become vegan I even thought about raising chickens. My husband and his brother planted over a hundred seedlings last year. I worry about those seedlings. They are small and the grass around them is high, what if in a couple years when the legal mess settles, the new owners bring in a brush hog and clear the land not knowing there are pine, birch, maple, and oak trees trying to gain ground? Well, my husband has come up with a plan, a tree rescue sale. If you are interested in taking part, post to my facebook page and I will give you details.
