Two posts in one day. I should to be packing. Can you tell I’m procrastinating?<\/em><\/p>\n

We try REALLY<\/em><\/strong> hard not to let all this \u00a0moving ‘interference’ get in the way of living, real living. I hate ‘survival mode’ and try my best not<\/strong> to feel like we’re having to live in it but some times, especially now that it’s getting close to crunch time, 19 days from moving day yet we still don’t have a place to go to, it starts to get a little more difficult to remain positive…<\/p>\n

I still keep trying though. It’s a minutely battle between my mind and heart at the moment.<\/p>\n

But in the meantime, to try and persuade myself out of a soon-to-be funk I figured I’d go through some photos from this past weekend. We had a great weekend, despite the nagging in the back of our minds about “where are we going to live?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday we packed up a picnic and took the girls to Greenwater Provincial Park.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a gorgeous day, for a beautiful park!
\nStill a little cool for swimming, but that didn’t stop the girls from a quick dip!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All four<\/del><\/em> three kids played in the playground. I turned the photo below into my husband’s facebook cover photo. Hee hee. I couldn’t help myself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for residing in the land of the living skies, I am constantly trying to capture the true ‘essence’ of just that.<\/p>\n

These magnificent living skies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While on our way to a church picnic on Sunday, I captured the above photo while in the moving vehicle. I think it ‘almost’ captures what we see around here, after a little playing with some color punch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And above, a storm trying it’s best to dampen our church picnic fun. To no avail. It dropped a few drops, and went on its way.<\/p>\n

In the meantime though, I had the\u00a0privilege\u00a0of capturing it’s beauty before it was gone.<\/p>\n

Land of the living skies. Yup! That’s where we live now!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
