My neighbor put the finishing touches on the new fence today. I am so happy with it. It's just gorgeous. Fixing up the home and garden really motivates me. It's amazing how something you've wanted for years can make all of the difference. I had always shied away from buying a fence, because the cost seemed so prohibitive. Now that I've been paying cash for smaller sections each year, it is feeling feasible.
I am very motivated to keep the house clean, and to enjoy how all of the work is coming together. It's exciting when you visualize something in your mind, and it starts to materialize. Now I am inspired to do more decluttering. The front yard feels bigger. I think getting rid of the weeds and old vines made a huge difference, energetically. Plus, we have a boundary.

The patio furniture is back in place. It's a blessing to have such a lovely, private space to enjoy. I can gaze at the alpacas on the hillside while eating home cooked meals and drinking French roast coffee.
I took Lula out in the backyard and brushed her this afternoon. She looks so soft and fluffy. All of the effort that we put into our homes, gardens, and pets really shows. It causes a shift. When we exercise, clean, organize or provide care, that nurturing energy is reflected outward. Now it's time to do yoga and meditate before bed. How are you doing?

Your shop is very beautiful as well! Do you raise the alpacas? I saw alpaca knit items in your Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Akasha. No, my neighbors up on the hillside do. I love watching them from my porch. They are so inquisitive.
DeleteYour fence looks very elegant! It has a very Zen-like look to it. You are right - our homes and pets do reflect the care we give them. I like your patio seating area. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bless, Thanks you. It does feel very calm and peaceful. I love having the elements of earth, air, and water. If we weren't in a high fire risk area I would add an outdoor fireplace.
DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks EMW. I love it.
DeleteBeautiful fence! To me, the yard is just as important as the house! I love sitting outside also! Andrea
ReplyDeleteI feel that way, too, Andrea. This is like an outdoor room with a view. The horses and alpacas calm me. I love gazing at the old pine trees, too.
DeleteWonderful addition!
ReplyDeleteInteresting, since I just did a post, on finding a weekly cleaning schedule. I need one. I want one. Was asking Dear Readers, if they have one, which works for them. :-)
I need neatness, where I live. So that's takes care of clutter. But really need a 5 day house cleaning plan. Would you have one to share, please? If so, I would be so happy.

Hi wisps of words, I hope you find one. I just do things that need to be done each day. I don't have a set schedule, but I do wash my clothes on Mondays, and my sheets and towels on Tuesdays. My mom used to clean the house each day, and that's what I do, too. I clean what is dirty, or what is bothering me.
DeleteYour yard looks so nice. The patio seems to be the perfect place to knit, have a cup of coffee and enjoy nature. I would love to see those alpacas-they have the cutest faces! I agree-taking care of your surroundings and keeping out the clutter is key to inner peace.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, It sure is. Thank you. The alpacas are so sweet. There are also horses and goats across the street. They add so much charm and love to the area.
