All the Colours of the Wind

Disney Flashback! (Pocahontas if you didn't know.)

This is a beautiful season, and I have come to realize in the last couple weeks it truly is my favourite. The weather is gorgeous, bright sunny says, warm and not hot temperatures. The gorgeous sunsets, all be they a bit early for my liking, and the colours, oh the colours!!

I am so crazy proud of this photo. This is my husband combining our soybeans last week as the sun was setting. Did I mention gorgeous sunsets?

Crooked crafter

Today was a wild one!

The international plowing match (IPM) was cancelled due to torrential downpour (I have heard this is the first time in decades!!). 

We were fully prepared to strap on our boots and unfold our umbrellas, but I wasn't completely disappointed to not have to spend the day dragging kids from booth to booth - oh wait we did that anyways. 

I really want to build BIG C a play kitchen like I found online (through Pinterest) on a lovely blog called Giggleberry Creations.  

So we headed to Home Depot (you know 'you can do it, we can help' but even if we can't we'll sell you the stuff anyways!! - courtesy of Graham Chittenden, comedian, which we happened to see live in December 2012 and catch again n TV this morning!)

After a couple minor meltdowns we headed out the door with supplies in hand. 

I took all the measurements this evening and tried to help Hubby cut them. I can tell he's a bit annoyed. Why not just buy a used little tykes kitchen and be done with it.
It's just not the same as 'home made'. No WOW factor!

Although homemade in this case, I found after being assembling the microwave, it's awfully crooked and a bit miss-shapen. 

I shall post some pictures of our progress in a later blog post (assuming we get it all finish!! and that I don't end up giving up!!)

Good night all!!

Until we meet again

Fighting frustration

Ugh.

One of those days. We had a blow up again. 

Well I did, while hubby stayed practically silent with the occasional un-huh, ok, and I know. 

He drives me crazy. I just want him to yell, scream, cry do anything to show that he is passionate about our argument, our life, US!!

Nothing. I know he cares. I know he is upset inside, somewhere really deep down. It's just drives me crazy that he won't show it. 

I feel like its me, having an argument with me. The same one all the time. We never progress brava use I'm the only one communicating. Maybe a little too loudly. 

I want a quick fix. There isn't one for our situation though, which in turns makes me more upset. 

In this moment I want to put a for sale sign on our farm, buy a nice simple home in he country, put the kids in daycare, and both of us head off to work. 

Wouldn't that solve everything? Little bit of money saved away, no 'career' on the side to come home to, we could leave work at work. Free weekends, holidays (actually take holidays), not have to worry about all the added bills and stress. Problem solved. 

No, because then hubby would be miserable. Silently miserable. 

*sigh* we'll just keep chugging forward, one step at a time. 

There is a popular song right now that sing 'wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older' how I wish this was an option!! Although we'd miss out on our children's golden years. 

On a side note, BIG C and I found a cucumber on our plant today!! yum!

Eating straight off he plant. Delicious. 

On that note,

Until we meet again.
