Ello…
Me and the dogs are making up for lost time after last week’s long holiday work stretch away from home. After the pack hikes today, I came back, took a long hot bath, and then did what any sensible human would do on a cold December afternoon - climbed into bed for a little work (yes, that’s the other phone) and a snuggle with my girl. I’m endlessly grateful that my “office” is either a trail in the woods or my own bed, depending on the day and what my body feels up for.
This afternoon’s agenda consisted of a few hours of warmth, blankets, and soft Poptart-breathing before shifting into farm-work mode.
It’s been cold here - the kind of cold where the evening hay rounds become the biggest chore of the day. I don’t mind it, though. I take my sweet time and there is something comforting about the rhythm of it all, and the quiet crunch of winter settling in around the farm.
Oh, and did I mention this little miracle?
After 11 years of living out here without reliable internet… I finally have fiber. I repeat: fiber optic internet, all the way out here in the sticks. I could honestly cry happy tears. It feels like someone hand-delivered a tiny piece of civilization wrapped in Christmas paper straight to my front porch.
So for today?
Dog hikes (and a newly signed-up pup!)
Warm bed. Warm dog. Warm heart.
And a connection to the world that actually works for the first time in over a decade.
We’re thriving.
