enjoying the slower pace
Now that I’m getting close to being caught up after having been (mostly) home for the month of May, I’m slowing down a little bit. Today I was finally back to living and not madly doing. And it felt great. I did not feel guilty about it for a single moment… I worked during the
instagram: we have a winner
On Wednesdays in May, Decatur presents “Blue Sky” concerts at lunchtime on the square. Camille and I headed over today with our chairs and lunch in order to take advantage of a lovely spring afternoon. I had Camille sign us up for the door prize; much to my surprise, she won a gift bag —

The sky was threatening this evening, but there was no rain falling to wash away the dust created by today’s destruction work.
ups and downs, going in circles
Two-thirds of the way through May, and I’m still trying to get caught up from our crazy April. I think I’m almost there. I once again believe that I can find balance. The big question is then, “How do I quickly regain balance, even when an event or serious of events throws me off balance?”

Gazoo got outside for a few minutes today … the workmen had left and the rain had washed away much of the dust on the bedroom balcony…. Poor kitty misses her jungle yard!
instagram: scaffolding (again)
The view out my window and of the approaching summer is not a pleasant one at the moment.
home sweet home
As I wrote previously, we were gone for almost all of April (Gulf Coast Spring Break, Bahamas Wedding and NYC for Kindiefest) and, for once, have no big trip planned for this summer. So I figured I could make lemons out of lemonade and spend “…some slow weeks at home to get organized. And simply

Gazoo kept me company as I tried to hide from the constructions workers here on Saturday until 6pm.

The last night of our Gulf Coast Spring Break camping trip we spent camping at St. George Island State Park. We had heard great things about the barrier islands along the Florida panhandle, and I had hoped to spend more than one night there, but I worked on our plans a bit too late. Maybe

I have yet to google these “Well Fed” stickers that have been showing up all over town …

During our fire academy class tonight, the sky over Decatur turned quite ominous.

Camille always enjoys seeing bits of yarn bombing around Decatur and elsewhere. Chloe says these get in the way of her acrobatics, however.

The scaffolding is now complete and soon the truly noisy part will begin. I ned to find somewhere to hide for the next month or two.

Chloe moans about practicing, but she really does like playing the violin and wants to continue with it next year … typical kid, I suppose.

We woke to rain. Instead of a long, lazy morning at LEAF, we decided to not take our chance but to pack up before it started raining even harder…

Chloe devoured her snack after riding the zip line into the lake…

A mad morning of working and packing. An afternoon of collecting Chloe, eating with the goats and driving. Finally, we were all settled in at our camping site at LEAF.
photo friday: ochlockonee river state park, fl
For our Gulf Coast Spring Break trip, the girls and I spent two nights camping at Ochlockonee River State Park. While this park did not meet our spring break criteria of being near the beach, it was the closest I could find after waiting until March to plan our trip. After slamming on the brakes

It is going to be a very noisy few months here at our place ….
not trip planning
For the first time in what seems like forever, I am not in trip-planning mode. I’m not studying maps. I’m not searching for what I want to do while “there”. I’m not looking into lodging. Camille finishes classes next week; Chloe finishes school the week after. And, because of finances/vacation being drained by our trip
