HA!!!!
Hubs said to me after a grueling day of chores, winterizing and well – more chores – we are halfway there!!!
We moved here – when?? – 2013 – and yet -we are still just “half way there?”
What precisely is “halfway there?”
Is it an empty bank account from buying hay or a full heart from watching and listening to the equines that are happily munching on that hay?
Is it disgusting dirty clothes, shoes and boots – covered in the muck of a paddock that will NEVER be dry or is it the sweet smell of grass and wild flowers?
Is it the impending doom of snowfalls or the joy of those same snowfalls watching chickens and ducks flip and flop about in that first snowfall of the year?
OR….
Is it the back breaking, feet aching, frozen pizza eating, dry hands, wet feet, frozen buckets, uneven/muddy ground, stupid bugs, frozen ears life we have chosen?
Yep – there ya go.
We will ALWAYS be half way there!
I actually don’t think I EVER want to be all the way there.
For starters I’d have nothing to bitch about PLUS I’d be out of things to write about.
Maybe someday we will be all the way there – for now – I’m happy with half way there.
