Hi, y’all.
We’ve had a break in the heat, so it’s been nice to be outdoors. I try to suck up all the blue and green I can because we have white/gray winters (and they last for several months each year).
We’re also getting busy on the remodel/upgrade on a few rooms of our home. It makes for a bit of chaos, but it will be nice when done. I do have a bedroom and bathroom that are unaffected by construction. I keep those rooms nice so when I need a bit of order, I can go there.
I’ve been considering self-care again.

I need certain things for my sanity – order and beauty are high on the list. Since I know this, I try to plan for it. One thing I have learned is when I am running low, I’m not at my best (I have a wobbly little light). It’s smart for me to do those things that brighten up my light.
What do you need to be at your best? What makes your day a little happier?
I love having chickens!
We toss all our yard scraps in the chicken yard and they pick everything into compost. They are also fun quirky birds. We have Mac the rooster (haven’t named the two new roosters) and “the ladies.” We also have Lumpy. The poor bird is a bit misshaped and she thinks she’s a duck (she was raised with a couple of ducklings).
