A simple life

I dream of a simpler life. Where my days may be spent in the garden, or sewing, or reading. Or whatever fancy may take me. I would like to work a couple of days per week, just to bring in some extra money and to socialise. I do need to socialise a bit, I like people but not ALL the time.

So today I have been enjoying a wonderful Aussie blog on simple living written by Rhonda. She is a wise woman and has lots of tips and recipes and is open about the way she lives her life. It is all about choices, really.

I may be much younger than her, and still have children at home, but her life is very similar to the one I would like to have now. I think there are some things I could even begin doing here in this big city, such as reducing my power usage and being tighter with my budget. I have plans to create a worm farm, and I daresay DH will start his potted vege garden again when he returns from sea, so then there will be something to use the worm castings on! I have planted cauliflower and broccoli recently, but haven't been back out in the yard to see if they are still alive! I need to put this on my must-do list, lol.

An interesting little wiki I found today is Air dry washing. A person wanted to know what the options were for line drying inside or out, but could not find an easy reference anywhere, so they created one! Check it out.
