My photo
The Enchanted Forest - that's what I call my new home on Sand Mountain, Alabama. I tagged it with the name as soon as we drove the U-Haul onto the property in late June, partly to trick my psyche into loving this new, very different locale that I wasn't sure I really wanted. I knew if I told myself often enough that this place was a treasure, I would eventually believe it. It worked. I love my small piece of the planet, and have accepted (almost) everything about it. I wish I'd started this journal the day we arrived - it's too labor-intensive to retrace all the steps that have brought me to this point, so I will begin here and let each day decide what is worthy of documenting. It's self-indulgent, and will surely vacsillate between celebratory and borderline-depressing - but that's what life is. And I find comfort in that cycle. So here goes . . .

More "Fast-Forwarding"


. . . skipping over lots of interesting and trivial goings-on, I'm eager to show off the progress in the Wish Garden to date. Then I'll back-track, in later posts, and fill in the gaps. But, since (as I mentioned in previous post) the 'garden' doesn't yet have the plantings and such to make it an interesting journey (but, instead, reveals itself all at once :-( - saving none of the mystery), I will reveal it here in bits and pieces and will resist the urge to post all the photos at once! (Ooooh, self-restraint is not one of my strengths!)


So here is a glimpse into the path into the Wish Garden - a cozy spot for conversation and a beautiful view of The Enchanted Forest. Early mornings are delightful here! (Vintage lawn rockers have been in my family, and passed from one to another, over many years. So happy to have these two 'back home' - Thanks, Jacque! Love you!)
