How reliably the universe works! This week marks a year since our blog post about seeking another place to live. This week the old golf cart that I use to carry tools and stuff about the yard as I tend to the "farm" has been declared morbidly ill if not terminal. It might be fixable, but the cost would far outweigh its worth and far exceed its purchase price eight years ago. So it has been returned whence it came to be refurbished by the person who sold it to us and then recycled for another's use. We no longer need it as we continue to pare down and simplify. Its duties will be assumed by the John Deere with a hefty wagon tagging along behind. Much slower than the golf cart and not nearly as much fun to fly around the yard in, but then we are slower also. All we need to carry on remains, and a large and open space is now available in the shed. We daily work toward more and more open, freeing space, shedding "stuff" and heading toward a simpler life.
