what a strange love we found here together


 
 

I don't talk about Jonathan very often in this space. It's funny, because he is a major part of nearly every post I write. He is always there, beside me, working, farming, building, driving, stressing and daydreaming. We are a freak of nature among couples, probably among people in general, but hey. We went through countless long nights to get to where we are now. So many lies and fights and tears. Months spent in the arms of others. What makes us unusual is how strong we are now for going through it together. For loving and forgiving and growing up. For making sacrifices and decisions to make our relationship better. Stronger. Now what we have is days beside each other, smiling, happy, loved. I can't remember the last time we fought. When I'm falling down into the pit in my head he pulls me back out. Every single minute of every single day of my life is amazing because I get to share it with my partner in everything, my soul mate. 

I love you so much Jonathan Taylor.
Thank you for everything, all the time.

Until next time,
Angela Kelly

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a new project

I stumbled upon a website last week about low impact woodland homes, essentially: hobbit houses. Dug into a hillside and covered with earth to create an efficient and beautiful house. They are made with roundwood framing, using oak trees left whole as the timbers. Straw bales are used for insulation in the walls and under the floor. They used a natural lime plaster on the walls, recycled materials for everything possible, thrifted doors and windows. All together this husband/father and his father in law built a house for under $4000 in about four months.  I have been blown away by the ideas and resources available on the subject. We have spent hours already discussing the outbuildings we will need in the future, such as barns, root cellars, storage sheds, animal shelters, and well we could definitely use a few cabins around. If we can utilize the materials around us in this way, it's possible for us to create an incredible farm, beautiful, efficient, and sustainable....

Justin and Savannah's Wedding - The Reception

The ceremony was simple and sweet, and the reception was the perfect party. A band on the porch, delicious food and drinks, cake and dancing. It was an epic night for everyone involved.   Until next time, Angela Kelly
