Some strange things are happening at Silo Hill Farm.....
Let's start with the above picture. Remember my Succulent Planter that I made?
You know....the one with the cute/creepy little plant called Baby Toes?
Well, succulents don't normally grow very fast, but it seemed to be "still alive" every time I looked at it, which made me happy. Then one day, this appeared...
Just a little bud. So I watched it and this is what happened.....
Exotic, isn't it? You can see that it has 3 more little buds on it so I'll get to watch this happen again.
Other strange things are happening here at the farm as well. For instance, after years of living here and loving it, we have made a decision to sell our farm. Yep, that's a big one. During our 23 years of marriage, we have always lived in the country or the mountains. This time we are stepping out of our comfort zone a little and we're going to buy a house in town. A little more house and a lot less land is in our future. Should be interesting.
Along with that decision, I have also given up my job. One more week and I'm done. I have a lot on my plate getting this house and farm ready to sell, but I suppose I'll have a little more time for creativity as well. I'll also have time for a little more blogging, who knows? I do have several things to share, like, I met 2 more awesome bloggers this summer AND I did learn some furniture painting which I have yet to show you AND, I'm still working on my black and white bedroom makeover.
Another thing I know that I'll have time for is a little more reading....something I have missed in all of my busyness. I'm starting out with this....
I read "The Great Gatsby" in Jr. High English class. I have zero recollection of it (hello...it was Jr. High....boys and fashion were the center of my world) so wanted to read it again before I saw the movie. When Jessica at The Thriftiness Miss asked me, along with Mel from Mellywood's Mansion and Shatzi at Love and Laundry to join in a read and then watch challenge, I jumped right in! Care to join us? It's not too late (I'm picking up my book tomorrow) and you can read about it and sign up at The Thriftiness Miss: The Great Gatsby Challenge. These are some great girls, a great book, supposedly an awesome movie. I'm looking forward to reading, watching and discussing it and I'm hoping some of you will join in!
