Through all of the stress, and busy whirlwind of the move I kind of forgot why we wanted to be up here. It’s the land of endless skies. House hunting takes up our life, [more about that special joy in a later post] changes of address, details and more details. Boxes, and piles of untidy messes that just seem to regroup, and reproduce, phone calls, and a wee bit of homesickness on my part. Not himself, he’s fine, I think that it will hit him one day…Gar, not Boo.
It’s just starting to settle in, this feeling edging around my consciousness, that hey, this isn’t just a vacation, we are here for real, forever. For real? Really. Seriously?
It feels mainly like we are just visiting, staying for a few days, and I keep thinking that I must fit one more visit to one more place that is a favourite before we go back. Not realizing that there is no going back this time. That my most favourite places are there to stay, and mine to visit when I have the time, and the inclination.
These shots of endless skies are from the other afternoon. The sky darkens early here, due to the mountains, and the winter’s schedule. After 3 o clockish there is no way my long lens will work, in the darkening gloom. That’s what made this sunset a rare treat. Back from running errands early enough that I finally got the camera out for a run. Exercising not only my body, but my creativity.
Oh my it felt good.
That and the fact that my PC is up and running. With a wireless adapter speaking to the router, I am in business. Thank you wonderful nephew, and BIL. Oh, it’s good to have a real keyboard, and a real screen in my life again. I know, small treats, but seriously wonderful treats. I feel like I am adapting to my new life with a bit more ease.
Now only if Boo would sleep in a bit longer…

Glad you are starting to realize you are home. How is kitty adapting to the new place?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the photos of your new world.
Jen girl these are BEAUTIFUL
ReplyDelete'warm-fly' pictures girl ..
I envy you that feeling of this is now my 'here' forever and a day : )
Yes .. the earlier darkening is rather magical (maybe not so much after the holidays but special for now) .. I am a pro at moving so I understand the chaos .. husband and I have never been in one place this long in our lives and sometimes we get that weird feeling like we have to move again which we know that isn't going to happen !
So relax when you can and enjoy it, hug it to your soul girl : )
Glad you are getting the smaller gifts in life up and running .. One day I will have my garden office and I swear I will crack open champagne and take pictures galore of my tiny kingdom!!LOL
Kitty kisses to Boo from the girls .. I know he will be enjoying himself some where in the sun ;-)

Glad to hear you are settling in, beautiful pictures of the endless skies. But Boo does need to sleep longer ... unfortunately don't have a solution for that.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful shots Jen. Glad to hear you are up and running again. LOL!
ReplyDeleteFeels good to have your things about you..even if it's just techie things ;) Enjoying your photos!
ReplyDeleteyou sound very happy, being a bit homesick is a given I should think.Beautiful photos, what an exciting journey you are on,finding your new home, knowing its out there just waiting for you!
ReplyDeleteHome 'sick' just until you have a place you can call your own and settle in. Hope you can enjoy looking until you find the one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the peacefulness of it all. Its the way we were designed to live.
ReplyDeleteThose photos are incredible! I can see why you wanted to be there. What beauty.
ReplyDeleteThose endless skies are indeed incredible! Can't wait to hear about your house hunting!

Very pretty skies! I hope your quest for a new home is successful! I think you should pinch yourself..you are not dreaming anymore Muddy Boots..soon you will be doing:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies Jen - and yes, so endless. But what happened to the snow? I see only shadows of it....ours seems here to stay. And homesick? Perhaps - but I believe that is only because you are in transition - once you have YOUR piece of that gorgeous land, it will quickly dissipate. Poor Boo....does he sleep with you? If so, try throwing a towel in the dryer or microwave before sleepy night and putting it on the bed with you - he should come back to it even in wee hours remembering the warmth, even when it is no longer warm......Smiles & Sleepy Night Hugs to Boo ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteGlad you're settling in!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the house hunting.
Boo will adapt soon...look at you...you are right at home and I can see why you wanted to live there...incredible beauty!!
