In 3 years, I’m going to be mucking around on the farm!

{{{I am speaking for myself. TS has her own unique take on the world, and I respect her for that}}}. In 3 years, I will be 55 years old and undoubtably marveling at the cliche bantered around in the 1990’s marketing campaign (by some insurance company)… “freedom 55”. I made it, despite the challenges I had growing up in a less-than-ideal (no shit) household. Once I met TS and galavanted around Vancouver, Delta, Burnaby,…, I was on the mend. I really am trying to keep my heart and mind open as I age. TS and I are moving out of the city and playing around on the farm, with a small village (Lion’s Head, ON) as an intermediate step. Here’s a dashcam image of what I saw driving into our new hometown:

One reaches our new home using a road that sits smack dab on the 45th degree latitude. The village is east of Ontario Highway 6. I love how dash cams can make it appear as if I’m driving off into the middle of nowhere. Trust me – this village is ALIVE.
TS and I are ripping up as much of the flooring from our existing home as possible before the renovation crews arrive. The de-wired, concrete-caked bits of hardwood (oak? maple?) will be reused for pathways in our backyard raised garden beds. Sorry future-guests: there will be NO patches of neatly trimmed turff to play lawn bowling. Permaculture all the way, eh!
