And So It Begins

Happy New Year everyone! 365 new days to do with as we wish, for adventure, learning, exploring and relaxing. What are your plans for the upcoming year? 

Mine has started well, and productively. Chicken livers and rice, cooked and cooling for Brunel, Lightning and Rover. Pork tenderloin on a slow roast, in the oven, for us. The quiche that I made yesterday evening, and cooled overnight in the fridge, is now in foil and ziplocs in the freezer. A local group on Facebook, that I admin and had paused for a month (I needed a break!), restarted. Heaters on, and I'll soon be heading in the shower. Not bad for it only being just after 9am!

Our plans today are a trip down to the property to get a bit more done. I'd stay there all the while, if I could. Yesterday, even more of the creek and marsh water was visible. I just love it down there.


Just so much to do before I can get to stay down there.  The barn probably won't be built until March as it needs 2 months for the concrete to fully cure before they want to erect on it, and my concrete man is planning on starting the grading and framing probably sometime next week. Once the barn is up, I can take over the big camp bed, so that I can just lie down sometimes while I'm over there, and maybe read a book, or write, or whatever. Meanwhile, I sit in my car or on my ridearound, as I can't use my walker there, it's too uneven.

Dinner will be the roast pork, I have to make up stuffing from scratch, then roast potatoes, veggies and gravy. 

I am feeling that I'm starting 2026 on a positive note. Be blessed everyone!
