I didn't intend this to be happening ..... it just is. My life ...... is changing. After years, and more years of heading in the same direction ......
Doing this home-made, and homegrown ...... home-business ....... homesteading...... Doing as much as we could for ourselves, and trying to help others who wanted to learn to do the same.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that there is only myself ...... to cook from scratch for ..... to grow a garden for ..... to can for ..... to bake bread for ..... to make cheese for ..... to raise my own meat for,
It just doesn't seem as important ..... or needful ......not even wise ........ to expend all that energy and time for the little bit I use. I have found that too much food goes to waste ...... so I need to change my way of producing, cooking, shopping, and storing. Is it wise to keep a flock of chickens for eggs? .... or a couple dairy goats for milk? ....or some rabbits for meat?
What would I do with more than one tomato, squash, or cucumber plant? ...... or one row of beans , peas, or corn?
How long does it take me to use one jar of apple butter, when I don't always eat a slice of bread every day?
Is it even worth my effort of making my own laundry soap, when I have only 2 loads of laundry most weeks?
So I can see my "just plain country" way of life is taking a new twist of its own.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hence, my new blog, "Changing Lanes ....." It will cover my newly-found station in life, pursuits I have had in the recesses of my mind for years ..... thoughts on how widowhood has changed my life ....... and the struggles that go along with it all.
I have enjoyed writing this blog, but as my hubby always reminded me, the only thing constant in life is change. And so I must learn to embrace it .... thankful for each new day. I hope that many of you will follow along with me as I grope my way along this new road. Otherwise I will miss each of you who have been such an important part of my blogging life.
Sincerely,
Sunny
