Be the Change no. 35

“The most rebellious action is taking ownership of your life.”

Be the Change.

And that is the kind of weekend I am talking about. Did you have a great time too? It was an awesome weekend for me filled with a lot of manual labor, dirt on my hands, shit on my clothes, and an all around dampness that felt great. If you’re considering an irrigation system, then I would highly recommend DIY-ing that thing rather than getting a kit. The kists just make things much more complicated and exhausting. It is done though and a lot more was accomplished as well.

My Friday night began with a chance encounter at Lowes. By now it seems like I am there every weekend again. I did have a few weeks there when the weather wasn’t conducive for visiting, however, now it’s back on the itinerary. Anywho, I was standing in line with one of my scouting shirts because they are great for gardening. They are totally breathable and light and colorful. So, the couple in front of me began a conversation about the beauty of my hair. And then the conversation turned to scouting after they noticed my shirt. Duder was a fellow Eagle Scout and a retired Scoutmaster of over two decades that was shopping for supplies to build a swing for the neighborhood children. What a great way to start the weekend.

And then the bulk of Saturday and Sunday I spent outside working on the plantation. A lot of little and big tasks were completed in anticipation of spring. Nothing helps with my mind like being outside. Nothing helps my body like getting work done. And nothing helps me spiritually more than time in the dirt. I hope you found something therapeutic that created a better feeling in your soul as well..

It’s been a long winter, a long fourteen days, and a long time to not be doing something productive outside without bundling. Have the week you want. I hope you found whatever you were looking for this weekend.
