I’m always excited about starting a new year, but this year is off the charts.
This week, my husband and I are moving to the farm we’re buying in Uruguay. That’s it in the photo. Cute, huh?
Moving to a farm in January poses some interesting challenges. It’s equivalent to July, meaning it’s much too hot to do any planting–and there’s nothing planted there now that we can harvest in the fall. This means that we’ll be living on a farm that has nothing to eat. It’s a blank slate.
I’m itching to dig in, but it’s too late to do early planting and too early to do late planting. I will be forced to wait.
Call it Slow Farming.
I’m sure this year will bring many, many opportunities for greater mindfulness, and that always means a lot of laughter along the way. Tom and I, the Doofus Duo, will be going all Green Acres. Considering how committed we’ve been in the last few years to paring down everything and living in a studio apartment in the heart of Buenos Aires, it’s kind of hilarious that we are now moving toward what most would consider a simple life–but it’s more complicated for us!
We’ll be digging in. Slowly.
Hope you’ll follow our journey here or over at New Globals.
