Yup, Definitely One of THOSE Days
I don't know about where y'all live, but by this time of year, we should have at least a few inches of snow, dirty slushy sidewalks and the nasty stain from all the salt they pile on walkways and roads; not this year... (And we're at the end of January already!!!)
I know, I am a weird ass. I love the winter. I love the cooler weather, and I definitely love the snow. People are always shocked when I am out in a tanktop and shorts when the weather is maybe -1C outside.
I just look at them and say, "Yah, I am THAT Canadian!!!" FACTS ARE FACTS!!! I love ice fishing. I love hunting. If I had my way, I would be in the middle of nowhere, living off the land for the rest of my life. I'm a country girl stuck in a city girl's body; well, at least for now. I can't stand living in a concrete jungle; some people like it, let them have it!
I'm quite self-sufficient when it comes to living off the grid. I was taught all the right things... how to cut wood, how to hunt, how to skin and prep animals, how to fish and obviously how to clean and gut them, etc. I can build a fire, I know how to build things/homes, etc. I was taught gardening from a very young age (my dad was a landscaper). I learned which plants are edible, what herb is useful for what and even what soil is good to grow what in.
I am not saying it would be the easiest life, but I'd pay anything to hear the loons daily. Listen to the wolves howling. Watch the wildlife run freely... I guess I love the simplicity of it all. The tranquility... AND that it isn't peoplely. (This would be an absolute bonus)!!! Obviously this is not something I would do solo, I'd want my partner with me, someone who loves freedom and that lifestyle as much as I do.
I guess I am just in one of those moods today... I crave quiet. I crave my bubble. I crave my person. I just want to shut out everything else... at least for today!
Stay safe. Stay warm. Be well. Be blessed, but most of all Be loved.
