North Carolina

Our family in the hills, on a farm, chickens and sometimes cattle or a little donkey. Two girls (seven years), one up and coming gentleman in a dollar bow-tie and two long-haired parents with a sense of humor. Shouts and grins and home cooking and a flowering garden in a Blue...

Athens, Georgia

Outdoor Farmers Market, long skirts and necklaces made of holy seeds, playing in the sun, then a drizzle, paid in tips and the farmers’ bounty: Back room in a hip bar, orange curtains and stuffed animals that used to be alive. Cool college cats in overstuffed furniture that was loosing its...

Everything but the kitchen sink!

This is our last week. Way too much to do. I’m waiting for David to get home from his last day of work (!) and then I’m hoping he can post a bunch of stuff on Craigslist WHILE watching the kids so I can make dinner and simultaneously pack our kitchen...

June 17th…

Planning: overnights

Then there’s the question of camping/rent. Leaving David’s job means living on a lot less. As such, we’ll be looking for free camping as often as we can. Our preference is to find lovely forests to camp in, because that’s where we’d like to be anyway. Sometimes public lands can be...

Planning: the Drive

It’s a . . . baby!

Sorry to have been silent for so long. You may have guessed, but I had a baby! That was more than two weeks ago, and it’s taken me this long to have any thought to spare for blogging! But while blogging was on hiatus, our free range dreams were not. We’re...

Handwashing Laundry

Yesterday I received birthday presents from my family, and they were kind enough to get me just what I asked for: new toys for the new RV life. Some material for our tiny reference library including The Next Exit (2011), Camping with the Corps of Engineers, and this large print atlas...
