the rest of the garden got planted
potatoes blossomed
it downpoured
and was hot
(like whoa)
sunflowers grew
the fence was finished
more sheep were sheared
we finished building outdoor steps
(with the help of Jamie's mom and uncle)
(with the help of Jamie's mom and uncle)
unloaded four truckloads of mulch
in an effort to make our house look more grown up
less "farmy"
less "dead bird-alpaca turd-mouse carcass chic"
less "farmy"
less "dead bird-alpaca turd-mouse carcass chic"
we fought about how to cut the plastic to grow beans
about how to mulch the right way
about who was actually the most tired one
we fought about other stupid things
then made up and realized we were being big babies
scared of societal expectations for marriage
divorce anyone?
we said f*#k you, before the advice was given
it was not a good thing
Jamie broke his arm
again
yes, the same one
he wore a cast at our wedding and it was funny
(by then)
we were married!
it was spectacular!
more on that to come...

seedlings came up
first the beans
then the corn
then the squash
then the okra
then the corn
then the squash
then the okra
and as I write, our bathing suits are drip-drying
on the porch of our honeymoon cabin
because we just went tubing down the river
with said cast
a game of rocky risk
it was perfect
everything
***
and now we're home with our various creatures
and I tasted our first homegrown strawberry today
and the corn grew four inches in one week
and Butter should now be called Bubba or Chubs
and Poofhead the chicken's hairdo is twice as big
and I'm eating buttered noodles for "dinner" at midnight
glad to be back in this space
thank you so much for taking care of it while I was gone
:)

Speechless!! This post has the ups and downs of good (and challenging) adventures. Go happy that there's been a honeymoon getaway, even with broken (?!!) arm.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Also- my husband broke his hand six weeks before our wedding and it was nothing short of a miracle that he was out of his purple viper cast by the time the wedding rolled around. Ha, we didn't so much mind if he was casted in the pictures, it was more the way his hand was casted...in the position of a striking viper. Very aggressive for weddings. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet life!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Hope you're still riding high on wedded bliss :)

Haha yep! It broke. We had it out one night and he swiped his arm on the bookcase in frustration and fractured it. Then picked up a bale of hay a couple days later and it snapped. Oh, pre-wedding emotions. They're so right about them... Julie, a viper cast would have been pretty hilarious, but yes a little aggressive. So glad it got removed in time.
