Journal entries are just that – the digital copy of my hand-written entries in my journal. If you aren’t interested in the daily details of our adventure, feel free to skip on to the next “regular” post.

I wake and write with my coffee. This new routine seems to be working well. I’m enjoying my mornings and getting some good writing done. It’s again cold and Ashley stays snuggled up in bed until late. With a forecast of rain all afternoon we plan to be back home, safely in the RV, by noon.

So off we head to be productive. Laundry and wifi. Ashley researches Forest Fenn, overnight oatmeal, and surfed FaceBook while I watch a webinar on making/creating side gigs. I get some good ideas and start outlining projects for later.

Back home, with clean clothes, we putter about the house. Apparently the chance of rain has drastically lessened. I make soup for lunch. After eating Ashley goes for a bicycle ride and I write in the hammock. She returns and yogas while I put together a fire for tonight.

Really enjoying our fires – fun to build and watch them. I’ve been trying different methods out. I try out a wood-fired backpacking stove that I made some years ago. It’s been so long that I don’t remember an important setting – it works but doesn’t seem super efficient and really soots up my metal cup.

Though it’s cooked inside we eat next to the fire. Then we follow up with s’mores. Mmmm.. we wonder what s’mores with Reeses Cups would be like. Or Nutella. Experiments for a future day.
Back inside we retreat to bed. Ashley reads and I crochet. Almost done with this skein of yarn – only one more to go!

We are up to 2 minutes in our daily plank exercise.
