Breaking Point
ay a prayer for me… better yet say a prayer or two for Daisy… I really need my beloved four-legged companion by my side as I continue to navigate and take on each new challenge in these uncharted waters we call life.
The three P’s
In a nutshell, it puts the emphasis on community service while still remembering to take care of oneself.
Finding Joy
Being sad for so long, truly sucks the life out of your soul and that certainly is not helpful to Andy, and it is not healthy for me. It is time I turn the corner and find my way back to me.
Accessibility
If I’ve learned anything with this experience, realities are anything but concrete and things can change on a dime with no warning. To survive, adaptation is of the utmost importance.
It Takes a Village
Andy and I are so luck to live in Palisade and to be a part of this incredible village we call home!
The Day My World Turned Upside Down
As I tried to lift him, I noticed his right side was unresponsive and I knew it was serious.
Life Lessons: Starting an Airbnb
Starting a business is not easy, but even with the bumps along the way it is rewarding.
Moving Into the Art Studio
After months of not having a designated creative space, the studio is finally finished, and I’ve moved in! Words cannot adequately describe the feeling of pure joy I feel as I unpacked both my art and art supplies.
A Touch of Paint
With the weather still on the colder side, the DIY projects in the main house continue. When the weather is nice, I work outside on the property, when it’s cold, I focus on the inside.
Giving the Kitchen a Facelift
While our contractor is building our guest house, I decided I could take on a few DIY projects in the main house.
Renovating the Main House: Phase One
I’ve decided to play it safe and only focus on one remodel project at a time, while the guest house is being built and we work to get the farm up and running. The rest of the house will just have to wait to be remodeled, as funds become available, we will tackle one room at a time, I’m thinking the library might be next on the list.
Harvesting Pecans
Growing up in Michigan, I have fond memories of going nut hunting as a child. I think this was one of the big reasons why I wanted to plant nut trees as part of the Boutique farm.
A Temporary Greenhouse
Moving household objects over the mountain is one thing, trying to move plants is a completely different beasty! I was able to move my interior house plants on my own in my SUV. The exterior plants, especially the larger ones I needed help. My friend Laurie with her refrigerated truck came to my rescue!
Assessing the Damage and Making the Repairs
The last item off the truck was our antique Queen Anne style buffet table from 1910. It was one of the first antiques that Andy and I bought as a couple. As the movers were removing the blanket from it, I noticed that two of the legs were moving. The buffet has no moving parts, so I knew this was not a good sign.
