Red Dirt Farm and Studio

Heavy rain.

Grey skies.

All the little kitties and all the little doggies of Red Dirt are tucked into their beds.

I had planned to stop blogging for a bit.  But here I am again.

Rambling about ordinary things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week we have had rain and ice and more rain.  We are trying not to complain about it, we need the rain.

But really, we are complaining, enough is enough already.

Our email accounts were hacked and our provider locked us out of the system. A couple of frustrating days and a few phone calls were made and new passcodes assigned.  An annoyance really, and hoping we weren’t compromised in some other way too.  We just went through having one of our credit card numbers stolen and had to have that straightened out.

Technicians were out this week, moving our old telephone line coming into the house and installing new lines in the addition.  I tried to pretend like I didn’t mind that I didn’t have internet access for the day, but it did bother me.  On the other hand, having the phone line down didn’t concern me one bit.  I dislike talking on the phone anyway, and lately, it seems every telemarketer in the world has our number.

The silence was lovely.

We are watching the Olympics taking place in  Pyeongchang, South Korea. (I had to look up that spelling) How about you –  are you watching?

 

A girlfriend took me to lunch to celebrate my birthday.  We both had grilled chicken with melted brie and fig spread.  Delightful.  I had gingersnap cheesecake and she had mix berry crisp for dessert.  Midway through lunch she stopped and said “You have purple hair!  Do you have purple hair?”   I confirmed she was correct, but didn’t have the heart to tell her it was purple the last time she saw me.  Funny what we observe, isn’t it?

 

Beautiful flowers from the feathered, furry children.  A chocolate cake with purple candles from Mr. Cottage.  Another trip around the sun is complete.

Still yet, in this year of awakening my soul, I am on a mission to complete 55 adventures.  Ok not really 55, I just want to embrace some things.

Some things I’ve wanted to do but haven’t for one reason or another.

Not the travel around the world, big earth-shattering things.

But happy little every day, I’m blessed with a good life –  things.

And purple hair.

 

I hope you have a lovely week.

 

That’s it for today.
