February 3, 2005: A January thaw has brought warm temperatures and sunny days to the Midwest. Saturday, LJ and I will take advantage of the lovely weather and explore our new property. We will walk the land again and we will see inside the cabin for the first time.
This will be a day to set some goals and draw dream castles; to discuss future plans and needs and wants. I'll take pictures and notes and LJ will just take pleasure. This will be the beginning of a great negotiating session. LJ has his thoughts and wants and needs -- and I have mine. The test will be in getting them to mesh, working out compromises and coming up with new ideas that please us both.
Punxsutawney Phil saw his own shadow and we will have six more weeks of winter (but if he hadn't seen his shadow, we would have an early spring and someone said an early spring in this area is mid March) so no matter how I look at it, Spring is six or seven weeks away. Too long! too far off. I want to carry rocks and cut brush, find wildflowers and discover trees and paths and critters and to spend days of hard labor helping LJ, sit in the shade, make a bench out of dead wood and rediscover nature through the eyes of my grandchildren. I am impatient and want to start now!
