Karen grew up in rural Colorado and Utah. I was an Eastern city boy. The past years in the motor home we learned a lot about "roughing it" and at The Passion Play we acquired a lot of outdoor skills. With the arrival of our furniture and other personal items in Arkansas this past week, we can now qualify as country folk. Karen and her sister will be full time at the cabin, while I split time between the cabin and the RV and my Passion Play teaching and acting duties.
Already, the cabin is beginning to take on a home-like appearance and the girls will continue to clean, organize, paint, and handle the indoor stuff while I handle the outside duties of clearing brush, watering, weeding, setting up the work/storage shed, outside painting and critter control. At the moment the squirrels are winning the battle of the bird feeders, but I have only begun to fight. The hummingbirds seem happy, but the birds are not getting their fair share of the bird seed. We will try some different style feeders and hot-pepper seed, to give them the upper hand over the squirrels. We are open to suggestions.
We like it here. We are at the end of a county road with no houses past us, so NO vehicle traffic, no traffic noise from the roads nearby, no motorcycles, no air traffic, and only the sounds of nature, a babbling man-made brook and coi pond outside our bedroom/walk-out deck. We feel so fortunate to have come to this season of life with the freedom we have to serve God as He has directed us; waiting expectantly for what He has ahead for us. Thank y'all for your encouragement and support. We'all are thrilled.
