It’s hard to find a shot without boxes and packing material in it!  Also challenging to scrounge up the requisite Shabbat décor that isn’t packed, but I thrive on being resourceful.  The Skullies are still here, so all is well.

It’s been pouring for days, which suits me just fine.  Out there somewhere the garden is happy, and we’re preoccupied inside.  Here’s a shot of yesterday’s early morning sky, which I never got around to posting.  And here is early morning lettuce on the windowsill.

The good news is, we’ve officially initiated our realtor’s search, and she sent the first of hopefully many potential properties.  It will be challenging to keep our sights down to realistic options within our very limited price range, but all we need is a tiny house in the county, with functional plumbing, electric, sewer, roof, structurally intact, etc.), and an acre or two to play around in, with no pesky neighbors too nearby.  Not much to ask, right?  We’ve actually lowered our expectations to whatever works to get us out of here ASAP.  We’re almost all packed up, that’s how serious we are.

Well, back to the kitchen, where I’m making navy bean soup with veggies and herbs, roasted spicy chicken, basmati rice, stir-fry style greens, and a spiked minty fruit salad.  Life must go on amid chaos.  Cheers!
