Bah Harbah, Kid... And so on and so forth...

So we went up in a snow storm and drove home in a snow storm,

but all is well and we have arrived safely back to our own domain.

We spent time with friends and family in beautiful rural places in Maine

with dogs and chickens and many laughs.

I am thankful to have visited such a beautiful place.

-Bah Harbah, Kid (and Mt. Desert, Bass Harbor, Sommes Sound... We were all around the island)-

I can't wait 'til we have our own chickens, although we will have to work on Margi and Mu's chicken etiquette first. These ladies think chicken chasing to be the cat's meow!

On the way home we checked out an area outside of Camden (Hope, ME.) that we may or may not have in love with... Might have to go back for some more exploring!

Traumerei... Daydreaming

A few crystals waiting to be finished and made into necklaces.

I am hoping to have them in the shop this weekend.

In other news:

We are getting the garden ready (a little late, oops).

Finally got a fence up, hopefully it will be puppy-proof.

Hoping to put the seeds we have in the ground, but we may have to wait a little longer for the manure we scored to compost a little more first. This should also be a good way to test the fence since I am sure puppy would LOVE to eat said poop. (Already had to chase her out, guess we need a real door) YUCK!

I am daydreaming about getting chickens.

Well all sorts of different animals really, but starting with chickens.

Not sure if it is gonna happen this year, though. (*frowning*)

This is hilarious, however.

We am hoping to take a trip to Maine this month to start looking for where we want to be.

You know, other than just dreaming about where we 'think' we want to be.

Definitely want to be coastal, we can't be too far from our beloved ocean.

I, well technically we, am trying to teach myself German.

I was so proud of myself last week when I could put together a (very) simple sentence.

"Ich habe hunger... Ich kann nicht warten Fruhstuck!"

Which translates to "I'm hungry... I can't wait for breakfast!"

I was waiting for my guy to get back with food.

Yay! Go me!

That's all for now.

Auf Weidersehen!

Hmmm...

The temperature is so beautiful today!

60 degrees in late October is not bad for New England!

Ok, now that I am home from my errand running and business meeting, I am trying to be productive...

HA!

My intention is to be working on some more felted owls and mermaids for an order, but I just found myself indulging in all the lovely blogs that I both do and don't follow.

It is so easy to get carried away!

(Sigh!)

Anyways, this is a bit random, but I love bats and think they are so cute!

Not to mention that I live by vernal ponds which equals mosquito madness in the warmer seasons!

So it is needless to say that I am very thankful for all of the bats that live around us and swoop around filling their bellies in the twilight and dark hours.

Also, I really want to have chickens!

How cute is this little fluff-ball?

And the man is pretty easy on the eyes too (*wink*)!

Hope you all are having a lovely afternoon!
