This amazing little device makes rainbows. (I got it from Signals, but I don’t know if they still carry it or not.) You stick it on any window that gets sun and when the sun hits it, it shoots rainbows all over the room. I’m not kidding. It is so cool. This one went up on my dining room window yesterday. It was gray and rainy, so it didn’t make any rainbows.
I’ve had a lot of rain in my life in the past couple of years. I’ve had a lot of rainbows, too. The rainbows wouldn’t be nearly as pretty if they didn’t follow the rain. Today, it’s supposed to rain, too, so no major furniture moving yet–especially since most of the house still looks like a construction zone. But today I woke up at the most perfect place in the world–my own farm. (I LIVE ON A FARM! I am so not over that.) I have a fold-out sofa to sleep on, internet connection, and TV (local channels or not). I have a fridge full of food and working water. So far, I’ve brought over three of our innumerable cats and our two dogs.
And this girl, who promptly ate her first bowl of ice cream in our new farmhouse.
I worked on organizing my kitchen and as soon as Steve-the-Builder puts the oven in and hooks up the gas cooktop, I’m ready to start cooking and baking again. I have asparagus plants that need planting, and a peach tree and a thornless blackberry bush, too. And it’s almost time to start chickens. I’m getting eggs from my “chicken lady” in April to incubate.
It may still be raining, but I see rainbows.

I’m glad you are making progress. Finishing work is soooo slow. But when Steve is finished, and you get moved, you’ll settle into a routine.
Thumbs up to you, Suzanne!!! :flying:

You will make it thru this small chapter of the move. Betcha in 3 months from now most of this will be forgotten and you will knee deep in baby chicks, gardening and flowers. and maybe a new set of baby kitties.

Rain is good. Plants like it, wells like it, streams like it–and my hair loves it. No static!

It’s rainy here, too. But it hope it stops there so you can get moved in!

So no rainbows here today, but we do have sunshine! And — gasp! — I saw *three* robins today! I hope they can find food somewhere, since there’s still so much snow (feet and feet of it) on the ground. I saw them on a patch of grass on a hill near one of our libraries. Winter still might toy with us, but Spring is on Her way!
Oh, what do the cats and dogs think of the new house?

I love going outhouse hunting in Missouri. Find an outhouse, find an old cemetery.

. Have read your books, love reading as much as possible. Started my own book many years ago but never finished it after the ninth chapter…didn’t feel like I was good enough even though it had always been one of my dreams…your so lucky to have your books out there. Need to take a trip to West Va soon to visit my mom and family…my mom is a very active 84 yr old…still busy making beautiful quilts…you would love them. She’s also one of the best cooks around, her rolls are great. Fern, from Ohio
