Some of my favorite quotes.

The things you do when you're desperate aren't Who You Are
by Niall

I survived. Isn't that what matters? 

Sometimes love means letting go when you want to hold on tighter.

When people are hurt, they look for gentleness and strength. 
-Rihito

The important thing in a book is the meaning it has for you.
 -W. Somerset Maugham

Let he who is without sin try to survive

I live in a madhouse run by a tiny army i made myself!

I'm a motorcyclist
I'm a librarian
I'm your wet dream come to life!

To concor & be humble


The sword doesn't care what you ment. It just cuts.

Pull your balls out of your purse & take a real drink.
-the magitions

1st day home from the hospital. Good dog!

It's so strange to think that I'll be having a baby soon. I never thought I'd have children. At least before I got my farm! & here I am, in my 9th month, due to have wee Aidan in 2 days. Am I ready? I have the skills I think, after helping Stacy raise her 3. I hope I have the patience, though people tell me that I won't let my child's behavior reach the point that I get annoyed! I can only hope. Dan and I have differing opinions on some parenting things but I'm willing to compromise since the end result will be a well behaved child.

I'm definitely of a mind that it's my responsibility to train my child right so that civilization doesn't have to discipline my child later in life. We will give him every opportunity we can without forcing him into something he doesn't wish to do. & I pray he feels he can come to us if someone hurts him though we plan to have him trained to defend himself should the need arise.

Hmm must have some baby hormones going on! Onto lighter topics! His room!!! Almost there, grandma is sanding and painting his changing table. I'm about to finish his curtains and that damn dreamcatcher I've been working at for what feels like forever! Oh, I need to put some sheets on that bed.... well time to get back to it!


Still in need of curtains and the changing table.

The Traveler gift box
I've still been working on my Iron Shot Café. I know it's hard to believe but I have! Just finished putting together my largest gift box "The Traveler". Inspired by my girl Amanda who is always out of town. She informed me that the places she stays doesn't offer coffee ... or breakfast [which is harder to help with, without being there].

If interested in getting this lovely gift for that special traveler in your life just visit my online store.

Some delish spicy fish tacos before replacing outlets in wee Aidan's room!


Thursday, August 24, 2017

Finished painting Aidan's room, got his baskets hung, his drawers on (still need to add the handles & do some touch up) and got the custom curtain rod up!

Now besides touch up I need to get some curtains made and finish his dream catcher!

 Enjoying the eclipse outside like back in 1994! Almost missed it thanks to the cloud cover but the 2 seconds it was mostly covered I got on my camera. Here's hoping I didn't damage the sensor. I figured if it wasn't hurting my eyes then my camera should be fine....right!?

I also spent some time photographing my garden.






The eclipse with a healthy dose of cloud cover!


Ground Cherries!

I lost 3 acorn squash. They got a bad case of white mold. I'll be lucky if the last 2 survive after my heavy prune job.

I found a large cucumber while pruning. A tone of baby watermelon some of which I took out for the sake of the larger 2 getting the most focus. My tomatoes are dealing with some rusting of the leaves but it is getting cold up here so they could just be reacting to that.

Some updates on wee Aidan's room! Layer 1 of paint is on the walls thanks to my mate & mother in law! Dan finished the built in shelf. We spent yesterday after I got off work sanding the drawers & he stained part. Once the second layer of stain is added & all buffed it'll be ready to paint the edging!

Egg, pepper loaf, mozzi, tomatoe on croissant! Autumn twilight latte & oj!
Built in mostly done. Awaiting drawers.
