oh my gosh, what a day!
we finished the sweet potato harvest
with some help from Martha & Lisa
hardworking sisters
it was a full on day
lots of digging
pulling
lifting
lugging
the body is worked
feels good though.. like really good
excited to crawl into bed
(surprised i’m not there already)
candle-lit journal writing
how romantic
i’ve been wanting to write a little bit about RV life, because…
k write it then
RV life
it’s quite the life
a dirty feet kind of life
where every day is an adventure
where water consumption is mindful
where material possession is minimal
RV life has its ups & downs
it can get messy real fast
it can help you live slow
RV life shows you what’s important
what is necessity
what is functional
there’s a little bit of room for other stuff
like books, crystals & candles
but not much, so don’t overdo it
you get real crafty with your space
totes
baskets
hampers
help carry the load
multi-purpose items/dishes
takes 5 mins to sweep & wash the floor
re-arrange & re-organize regularly
it’s amazing what you collect along the way
RV life is a ‘2 pair of shoes’ kind of life
a ‘can i bum a shower off you?’ kind of life
a ‘it’s been rainy for three days, we’ve run out of solar power & the fridge just shut off’ kind of life
a ‘wow.. the moon’ kind of life
there’s always going to be a storm that scares you
makes you wonder: how windy would it have to be to flip this thing?
there will always be sweltering, sleepless summer nights
there will always be magical sunrises
& starry slumbers
you will always feel connected to nature
because, well, you’re in it
cozy candlelight
dreamy daylight
all sorts of weather
sharing it together
