So, it's June 1st and here is the first entry into my 2011 blog that was going to follow the progress of my beautiful garden throughout the course of a year (yes, it was meant to be the 2011 calendar year). Not happening.
That is what living like me is like. Nothing ever really goes quite the way I had planned, I rarely actually complete the exact project that I started, my garden isn't so much beautiful as it is green (thanks, weeds) and after 38 years of life I have decided that I'm cool with that.
So, instead, I'll just ignore my perfect blog about my perfect garden and blog about my actual life and all of the great things you can do when you lose the expectations of perfection and just decide to live like me.
I'm Leah, I live on a very small farm in the middle of Portland, Oregon. It's actually a large yard but if I call it a farm then I've already reached one of my life goals which is, living on a farm. It has vegetables, fruits and chickens. It's a farm. So there.
I'm crafty, but not artsy. I'm handy, but not very skilled. I cook things sometimes and most of the time they turn out okay. I garden with varying amounts of success. I don't do windows, or really any cleaning for that matter. I left a job that actually paid me money 4 years ago to raise a child and have spent most of that time trying to convince myself that I am a "homemaker". Which, you will find, I'm totally not. I'm just a woman who wants to live a good, simple life with my family. Ever tried that? Not as easy as it sounds.
Anyway, that's me. Welcome to my world.
