April Waltz

Here we are, finally unpacked (for the most part), ready to settle into daily and weekly routines together. Still a few areas to sort through, but essentially everything is in its proper place and the house seems comfortable and functional for us.
We went shopping today for furniture... for anyone who has been here and seen all the pieces we already have you could wonder "What on earth do they need for furniture!?". Well, we wanted a bed for the guest room (all who visit will be thankful we aren't making them sleep on the floor~ Toby is actually the only one who has had to suffer through that!). And we also wanted seating in our bedroom for television/ movie viewing. We haven't even turned on the television other than to check the rabbit ear reception (we get channels 10, 13, and 23 quite nicely). We are looking forward to watching a movie, or seeing what PBS has to offer (NOVA, Red Green, and Keeping Up Appearances are personal favorites). What we found was a reclining love seat that we both found VERY comfortable. Both pieces will be delivered and set up early next week.
A bit of re-arranging of furniture, some re-allocation of kitchen cabinet space, and a general shuffling of boxes as things get opened, sorted, and moved and here we are... home at last. It's still a little hard to believe that less than three weeks ago we were waiting to sign papers... less than two months ago we didn't even plan to look for a house... less than a year ago we weren't even married. Proof that a lot can happen in a short amount of time (relatively speaking), when you're focused in your path but still open to other possibilities.
April is bringing some rain showers, and some sunshine this year, we're happy for both. We'll be taking down some trees (hopefully this week) to make room for our garden. Next weekend I'll be digging some rhubarb to transplant here, and may get some raspberries to put in... an outdoor weekend in store, weather permitting. It will be a welcome break from being inside. It's all fun though. Someone told me years ago "If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right", and I have to say, I must be doing something right these days, because as tired as I am at the end of the day, I'm having the time of my life here in the woods :)
