So many changes have come and gone on the little plot of earth we inhabit:
children have grown...
a grandchild has come...
jobs and routines have altered...
a boy became a man...
all while I wasn't looking.
This year has been a challenging year of revelation; a time to see the hard truths and find the way to face them. Nothing tragic has happened and no losses have occurred- things have just changed.
With a new year comes evaluation and adjustment; life will be different:
no children living at home....
a full time job with changes of its own...
a young man in the military spreading his wings and taking flight...
the home to consider.
There is no doubt in my mind the homestead will need to adjust to the needs and changes of our household. We have less people to feed, so considerations will be made regarding gardens, livestock, and space; no plans to end our homesteading- only adjust it.
I sit in the quiet wrapped in hand made warmth; Ben and my warm cup for company as I patiently wait for the ideas to flow. For now, it is time to rest... to breath.
Happy New Year! May God's grace be with you.

Hopefully we will be facing changes this year. My husband is hoping to be able to get a job at Hill Air force base. It's closer to home and we are ready to get out of California.
