Maybe...

 As winter stops our dreams dead in
their tracks, I ponder Springtime and
road trips to come...and pimping my pull...

 Not everyone could live like this,
but those wild at heart, can dream
of the solitude and the silence,
this is what stirs our soul,
the silence within...
don't know if I can...but,
I'm willin' to try.

 Shack love...this is paradise to me,
a front porch and a rocker,
no neighbors, no traffic, living large
thinkin' small...I think that's why
the open road has such an appeal to it...

 a free spirit, a loner...
my brother said to me tonight,
we need to find you a good man...
cough, cough...
well, you know how that went down!

 no, we need to find me some good ol'
granny boots...a man...NOT SO MUCH!!!
UNLESS...

 maybe not...

 but that's what it'd take for me to consider it...
a man who's not afraid to get dirty,
a hard worker(in the fields)
a good carpenter
and a good shot with a muzzle loader...
someone like me...
a free spirit, wants to live off the land,
break away from society, lesson the footprint,
split wood for the stove, drink hot, strong coffee
with homemade biscuits and jam in front
of the fire with a good book
and conversation...not a husband,
but a friend...
another soul in search of a song,
a song of the love of the land
and a day in the life...

naaaaaaaa...I'll just hire it done!!!

LOVE...

Can you believe I found these two
chairs at the Good Will...

 Yup, they were a little pricey, BUT...

 who cares when the need arises...MINE...

they are perfect in my living room,
the color matches the wallpaper perfectly,
the style is decadent and soooo me
and since I gave up TV two years ago,
the cupboard is now storage, so really
who wouldn't...BUT...
as a result, somethin's gotta go...heh heh!!!

Been a ponderin'...


 Ponderings of shopkeeping on the road...

 Ponderings of of exteriors...

 and interiors...

 battle plans of inventories...




So now that I have my lil' dream trailer,
the thought processes begin,
what ta do,
what ta do...
contemplating farmer's markets
and flea markets,
but foremost in my mind is travel...
travel to away places of peace and
tranquility, time to watch the stars
and do nothing but nothing...
and maybe a margarita

or 2...

MINE...

 Just fits perfect out in front of my shack...huh...

 Probably won't do much 'till Spring...but...

will more than likely take out the stove,

 and definitely redo the the benches/bed

 and this bed too and it needs a funky paint job
and some fixin' up fer sure...but, what a fun
playhouse, now Piper and I need to decide
if the outside needs to be black,
cause we want to do shows selling
the Lucky 13 tees and stuff,
plus our soaps and candles and whatever...

and look ma, it's a one-holer...
TOO MUCH FUN!!!
