{Breathing Space}

Happy Friday the 13th!
I am super excited for  the 3-day holiday weekend.
And my bff is coming in town today and if all goes as planned (and with 5 kids
between us it often does not) we will have a girl's night out tomorrow night.
I think I can hear the margaritas calling my name already....  : )

{These are all from The Cabin over  New Year's weekend}
All I need for a solo walk in the woods....
coat, boots and a camera.

Normally this time of year everything would be frozen and/or covered in snow.
There would be no leaves, berries would be covered and the pond would be ice.
This is the strangest winter I can remember in a long time.
We have only had just one snow so far this winter and it all melted before the day was up.
The weather on New Year's Eve day felt just like an early Spring day.

This place is so calming and peaceful for me.
Space to breathe and think and relax.
I absolutely love having a little time down here to myself; a walk through the woods,
down the dirt road or through the fields.
I can hardly wait to get a little time to myself once we get to the Cabin, love my family and
all but I was actually itching for a little time to myself.
I am super tempted to go down there solo but I think it would be just a bit
too creepy at night by myself, it's pretty secluded and every scary movie I have ever seen
runs through my mind when I think of staying there alone.

You all might think I am crazy but I don't even mind the whole out house thing.

I mean I would prefer an actual toilet of course,  but I'm okay with it. 

Water has not even been run out to their road yet, so it's not even a possibility for now.

So we do dishes and wash up Little House on The Prairie style, it's kinda fun for a day or two.

But that's about my limit.

Reese Peanut Butter Cup S'mores.
Yummmm.
And a perfectly clear sky, walking outside on the porch at night you can see a million stars.
That is the coolest thing ever I think.
That is at the top of my list of Reasons To Move To The Country.

Ahhhhhh, so peaceful.

Looking at these makes me wish for that warm sun, it is freezing here today.

Yesterday it was like 16* and felt like 6* or something crazy like that with the wind chill.

Oh Winter, please don't stay too long...and if you do, please just keep the sun with you.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

We are off to the DMV again soon, wish me luck...you know I need it!!
