Why write?

Not much positive has been happening lately. I don't want to fill this space with negative. So I'm trying to keep writing because an old saying I heard in college is 'to be a better writer, you have to write regardless if it is anything'. Or something along those lines.

My plan always has been to fill this space with our homestead adventures trials and disappointments. For a while we had a great place to homestead on my parents land in a trailer house in their yard. But our lives clans jobs changed and we moved on. Back to apartments and small urban homestead things. Then a farm of our was in sight and plans were made but denied. So tiny house and small town urban dreams were our next choice. It is still unclear what will happen but again it seems we won't be buying a house. I'm coming to see this. Yet it makes it difficult for me to write when nothing is happening on our homestead front. But I will try to continue to post when I have something interesting.

Windows

I'd like to cosy up on the love seat eating ice cream sandwiches and drinking rum spiked hot chocolate with marshmallows. Instead I'm going to be a mom and play run around the living room my three year old, wipe boogers off the baby and dream about our tiny house.

Most importantly today I'm excited about the windows. We'll have so many. Prior apartments have been corner units. So that we can open the windows in each room and hope for a breeze. The future tiny house has windows everywhere except the north end of the house. By still a big window in every room. The bathroom one is going to need that plastic film to 'frost' it. I don't want to cover all the natural light. Not sure how we'll deal with the other windows in the house. Probably remove the mini blinds, since they remind me of cheep rentals.

What are you dreaming about?
