Settling Down

We've been at Honey Camp for almost 2 weeks now, and are developing a routine. While guests are here, and until our home is built, we are staying in the RV. It's parked near the garage. We have quick access to the bathroom, and are shaded by bamboo. There are some charming little bamboo birds who visit the RV every morning to look at their reflection, and to perhaps, duel.

no birds on the wet and rainy mornings, but Jack is still pining for them

The mornings are exciting. I wake up and wonder what the day will bring. I wonder if I will establish a little more of the routine, if Matt will find joy in the day, if Tetra will eat a little more solids. Breakfast comes and goes, and is always delicious. I will do a little housework, or rather ranchwork, and then I am usually able to get in an hour or two of paid work. By then, it's time for lunch.

TJ normally takes a morning nap.

For many living and visiting, lunch is not a required meal. For me, it is a must. Generally, someone is around to help me out. When they are not, it's a banana and sweet bread to hold me over. If I can occupy TJ, I might even brave the kitchen myself one of these days.

Matt and TJ found some shells during an afternoon walk. I worked and called mom.

Much like the morning routine, I then do a little more ranchwork, followed by paid work. This is the more adjustable time of the day, when I might do ranchwork all afternoon, or paid work, or artwork, or just take a long break.

Dinner comes before or after sunset. On the days it comes after, I put TJ down first--around dusk. At least that's how it's been so far. It seems rare that she will take a nap longer than 10 minutes at any time of the day other than morning (when she takes a good half to hour nap). I don't mind though. She sleeps long and hard at night, and that's perfect for getting her in before the mosquitos, getting a solid block of work time, and just getting some time to myself.

Night sleep.

I'll have to put Matt to the keyboard one of these days, so you can hear his voice.
Bye bye for now.
