Oct 28th Just returned home after 10 days on the road

We have realized that we are country people! It has happened very quickly. We had a crazy 10 days in Tewkesbury,  Montreal,  Renfrew, Peterborough and Montreal again seeing family and friends and buying pocket doors!!. It was really fun but we were really glad to get home as well. I guess that is the best of all worlds.

What we did realize is that they are calling for snow here for the Friday night  – just a dusting – same as in Montreal, but Monday morning we said we are not yet ready so we have had a busy couple of days trying to get the rest of the wood stacked, composting around all the bushes, getting the furniture put away and finding our winter boots.

Alan has been working on the basement and we figure we will be done in a month – so let us know when you want to come.

So many people ask us “do you feel like you are retired?” I think we are starting to. We have been talking about the fact that it is not always easy to figure out what the day to day will look like.  We have about a million things that we want to get done but sometimes it is not so easy to accomplish things when you are used to have such amazingly structured lives.  I am really glad that I am no longer living that crazy life but I need to figure out how to get things accomplished now without the structure.

So we are creating some new structures – start the day with yoga, walk, breakfast and at least finish the day with long walk, drink and dinner. Pretty nice life- I recommend it.

Some road trip pictures:

Look at how this tree has grown in such a weird way to get to the sun. I have walked by this a hundred times but never seen it.
