A New Face?

I managed to get the dog blanket (would you believe its middle is my sleeping bag from when I was 13!!),  and a couple of pot mitts sewn up on the weekend which can now be ticked off that list I had/have. 
 My knitting continues on various projects which keeps my hands busy, but my mind tends to wander off onto musings..........

Things have been changing a little around the cottage - as with most places changes are always made here and there - here, Hubby has taken charge in the yard - removing the vegie patch, fixing up the chook yard and extending

Some lovely deliveries of yarn that arrived over the past couple of  wks.

it so they don't need to go out into the yard everyday, and just last weekend finishing off the front fence ............... as some of you may have guessed, this has now reduced the garden areas dramatically - less weeding, but less garden area.  The vegie patch really was not doing well in its position due to all the gum trees overhead and the spreading kikuyu grass at ground level.  I salvaged some plants from the front garden and they are sitting in pots around the cabin.  In fact the little cabin seems to be gathering its own little garden of potted plants.  The herb garden sits just near the cabin and I've dug it up a little removing wandering herbs that had escaped from pots .... and I will likely use this spot to pop in some silverbeet as I like to have it on hand for the chooks.  Its only a small space, so it's not going to take much at all to fill it.

As my daydreaming continues, thoughts of my long, long time dreams come into play ........ I wonder if there is the slightest chance of them coming to pass, as it becomes less likely as the years pass and as our ages go up -  the finances always seem to be that bit short..........  It can be downright depressing at times!  We recently thought we were going to be able to get a bush block of some acres - but with no house, sheds, fencing or power etc........ turns out we would not be able to afford it.

But now I find myself in that "where to now" world.......................... You know (or maybe you don't), but when the reality check says "forget it, you got not a hope of achieving that goal"........ so here I sit, pondering ............ looking, searching for a new goal ....... trouble is, I don't want a new one, I like the one I have/had ....... perhaps there is a possibility of changing its shape to fit into this lifetime ................ I'm sure with a bit of creativity there might be, just might be,  that little ray of hope there......................  I'll let you know in a little bit, but in the meantime I might continue to pray that we find a few acres, preferably with an old house and sheds already there, for a price we can actually afford!
