Feeling the farm vibe and loving it!

I worry when my husband gets her that it will be harder for him to let go of his suburban stressed self.  It occurred to me last night that I have made all my dreams come true. When I was little I used to say I wanted 5 children, an English Bulldog, and to be a farmer. It made me wonder what I would have accomplished had I set my aspirations elsewhere. Even through all the chaos of my troubled and wasted youth, I ended up on the other side with all I've ever wanted. I guess its time to make a new list. In reality all these accomplishments were almost accidental. Maybe we manifest things in our life with out really realizing it. For example, if we reside ourselves that we are probably going to catch the cold going around the house...well...that's pretty much what will happen. Sometimes, I decide out right that I am not getting sick and it works. I find it interesting that even though I may have lost sight of the things I wanted as a child somehow they have found their way to me. I am really feeling this  farming thing. Today, the kids and I picked an apple from our garden and shared it. My son, #3, was chanting " I picked food" over and over again. We washed it, cut it up and shared it. It was pretty darn special. Everyone was in the moment. It was happy. Later today, we found another frog on our porch. We caught it, so we could take some pictures of it. The kids were so fascinated. They also seemed a bit in awe of my bravery. I picked up 3 frogs in the last 2 days with my bare hands. Ewe! We explored the property. We pretended. I was the queen of the land of gigantic trees. I really hope my husband can get into it here because I am loving it!
