always think we get more time

I keep forgetting that I have a blog...

a little update from moi:

I am back home - homemade food, sister cuddles and love, catching up with high school friends - what's not to love?

Megan told me today how she saw a future me ... she described this lady with a 2 year old and a baby strapped to the front with one of those cloth carriers being super patient and speaking to her kids in a soft voice. She also had a shortish, funky hairstyle along with glasses...

... when she told me this I got ridiculously excited because that's definitely where I want to be a few years from now so I'm all excited about babies, oh dear.

The summer job at the conservation authority is very hippie certified which makes me happy. I was able to plant trees, learn how to successfully back a boat into the river while driving a mofo huge pick up (i want one), go to a conference learning about water quality and invasive species, and return back to planting trees. At the conference there was one student who was doing a presentation on his thesis and while he spoke of what he was learning it made me realize that I found that scholarliness (new word!) quite attractive (him doing his masters and presenting what he learned). It also inspired me to think about MAYBE doing a masters. MAYBE. That's the great thing about summers- you have time to actually reflect, lie in the grass, stare at the sky and think about life.



Getting back to nature is a beautiful thing. Handling the little roots and placing them gently in the soil along with seeing the little wormies is a nice reminder of what's beneath the concrete we all walk upon. It also reinforces the idea of how fragile life is and what a miracle all of this world is.

That's all on the mind of me today.

Hope you all have a lovely week!
