I looked back

And realized I am also looking forward. It was fun for me this week to see how much I blogged this time last year. We were so excited and freshly clean and full of hope. Now we are the fulfillment and the culmination of that hope. I am exactly where I want to be doing exactly what I dreamed I would. No I haven't forgotten my long lost children, I am investing in myself, and praying Gods will be done, and I feel less tragic, and more humbly hopeful. I have been opening doors I boarded up long ago, and closing ones I should never have opened. Joining our Lapidary school is awesome...I feel oddly akin to the rock hounds there...like Im home after a long journey or back at a familiar place. The pumpkins are behaving perfectly. Our crazy little sunflowers that have millions of babies are back 6 strong. The tomatoes are making roots to China, and all the nursury plants are repotted and up for adoption (haha sale).  Our yard is way clean and other than the dust from carving soapstone, the house looks great. Theres never been more life on the Rancho...we even have a new tenant...they eat rattlesnakes and cactus.....sounds like great fun!
