Making room friday sept.09 2011

I have found myself five weeks pregnant and alone. At twelve weeks pregnancy on the eve of all of my earthly belongings sitting in a moving van outside my fence under the watchful eye of the starlit night sky I have decided to remove the roof, add another floor and put on a new roof. I am in no way a carpenter and have never done anything on this scale. Infact the chicken coop I started remains unfinished. I am doing this out of faith and necessity. Necessity because my tiny cabin is not enough room for a crib or for the baby to have its own room. I am doing it out of faith that as I proceed the solutions will come on there own. I believe in God that if I begin He will provide. Due to my physical condition and the deteriorating weather and that friends have graciously lent me the use of there cabin I am feeling pressure on myself to get it done.

Stephanie Quainton Steel quote

Vancouver Island watercolourist Stephanie Quainton Steel cried as she sat at the confluence of two rivers beside a mountain whose top was obscured by snow and fog. With the blank paper in front of her she said how was I to capture this,how get my awe down on paper, how uncover what lay in the deepest layers of my heart?...practice was the secret, and then, practice some more. ”

firewood

My day began with a search for my wedges so I could split a large cedar block perfect for kindling. Since it was pre~8 am borrowing was not an option. Neither was an excuse not to do it. I found the wedges after I filled my boot with water and disturbed a sleeping mouse in the woodpile.
