Meet the beautiful Fawn Lily that grows wild in our forests on the pacific coast. She's dainty and delicate, loves the shade and is also known as Trout Lily, Dog's Tooth Violet and Adders Tongue in other parts of North America. Yesterday, while we were trying to decide just where to situate a house on our new land, I noticed that they're in bloom . They won't survive the clearing and digging when building begins, so I'm going to rescue as many as I can before the chaos begins. They may not all survive but I'd love to save as many as I can.
We move at the end of April and most of our belongings will be put in storage for the duration. We'll be living with my daughter Meghan and her family for 2 months or so and then...we don't know yet, but it won't be traveling as we had previously thought. By the time we arrived home from Mexico and living out of suitcases for two months, we knew we wanted...needed...to stay in one place for awhile.
The packing is well underway as is the process of "mentally" leaving and separating from this place that has been our home now for eight years. (the longest either of us has ever lived anywhere!) Although we've loved living here and the home has so many wonderful memories of good times with family and friends, I'm more than ready to leave and start the next chapter in our lives. I'm excited to be packing up all this "stuff" and feel lighter already!
I'm thinking I could easily become a minimalist, but I'm not sure it would last!
