Hey all!
I know it's been radio silence over here - and that's because for the past two months, I've been fully soaking in all the joys the tiny house has to offer.
Since my last post in April, there have been quite a few highlights. Among them are cool critter sightings, a virtual college graduation, and what I truly believe was a real poltergeist experience. Over the next few blog posts I will go into each topic in more depth. For now, here's a quick recap - I know quite a few of you are waiting :)
Highlight 1: Critters
As you can imagine, a tiny house on a marsh attracts a lot of interesting critters. So far, I have seen turkeys, turtles, frogs, fish, one groundhog, and a band of wild cats that patrol the area.
Me trying to get a pic of a local friendly turtle. Weirdly enough, he was roaming around in a graveyard.
Six of the stray cats sitting in a row. At 8:00 PM each night, they gather in a circle next door, presumably to discuss very important cat matters.
Highlight 2: Graduation
As many of you know, I just graduated college with a Bachelor of Science in Biology! While it was weird to celebrate virtually, it was a day to remember.
Thank you everyone for making this day unforgettable, and to my family for organizing a surprise parade! It was awesome!!!!
Highlight 3: Mysterious activity
Believer or not, it's undeniable that there have been some very strange happenings in and around the tiny house.
This topic will surely get its own post, because I want to get into as much detail as possible. For now I'll leave it a mystery and won't give away too much just yet.
Watching me.
Highlight 4: Frustrations
The tiny house may seem like a fairytale, and it is! Even so, the house does come with its own set of frustrations. I'm still getting used to the compost toilet, and sometimes the propane tank will run out of gas while I'm mid-shower, making the water go ice cold without warning. At least it makes me wide awake at work in the morning!
Living eco-friendly is not very glamorous, but overall I find the frustrations more whimsical than anything and don't take the little inconveniences too seriously. I think that's key for a lot of things in life.
Highlight 5: Garden
The warmer weather has inspired me to work on my garden! The whole area has exploded in green ferns and cattail reeds. I love the little marsh so much.
The marsh.
Some roses I'm growing.
A surprising amount of people have taken an interest in the tiny house blog, and I'm excited to share more about the adventures going on here! If you want to get an email notification when I make a new post, you can enter your email in the box!
Til the next adventure,
