No doom this time though. Whew.
I live in my head a lot. It makes the world much nicer. In my head our house is situated on at least 500 acres of land. The gardens are large and abundant. It's a step back in history to slightly before the time our house was actually built.
This morning I am in my head once again. Not on my 500 acres though. I am out roaming around the world. I am in my VW Westy, which someday I will actually own.
I am rolling out of it, foggy headed & with wild dreads, and I am ambling over to the campfire. Stirring the coals back around, starting back up a small fire so that I can cook breakfast. Hmm .. I think this morning's breakfast is definitely bacon & potato hash. Smoke from the burning wood drifts into the VW and swirls about inside like incense.
What will the day hold for me? Where will we wander about? We are free today to do as we please. Laugh, drink, sing, roam, explore ... imagining all the possibilities.
In reality, I hear beer bottles clinking outside. Today our Belgian Blonde Ale will get bottled. The beer is calling to me heavily already this morning. Some Sundays are perfect for sitting out on the deck and sipping on beers.
Yesterday was good. We moved the chickens back to the yard and cleaned out their Winter Chalet. We set up the new mini-greenhouse and started some seeds. We were outdoors most of the day and it was magnificent.
Justin has had a beef roast going in the crockpot since yesterday and the aroma of it is driving me out of my mind. I think I my drooling could compete with the Mastiff's.
The roast wasn't ready for dinner last night, so we picked up some fresh made North Carolina BBQ from a couple who has set up shop on Main Street. A small trailer with a impressive smoker rigged up next to it. How can you deny the allure of the smoker?
Today we will likely plant some more seeds. It is that time of year and since we missed out on it last year we are looking forward to it all the more now. The trees are blooming, going from bare branches to full blossoms overnight.
I am ok with my head and reality not quite syncing up right now. Both are fantastic worlds to be in.

Love this post. Love it! I'll have to try out some of that bbq. Sounds great. We haven't planted anything but I cleaned up the herb bed a bit. It's gorgeous out there.
Thank you! The BBQ was SO good. They're located in the Big Lots parking lot on Main St. in Salem. Hours are Thursday - Sunday from 10:30 - 8pm, and they plan to be here year round. Prices are $4.50 for a sandwich and $8.50 for a pint. Cash only!
I bought two pints (thinking it was BARELY enough) and we made 4 sandwiches out of it last night PLUS Justin and I had it for lunch. It was DEFINITELY worth it.
Good for you for cleaning out the herb bed. I haven't tackled those chores yet!
