Dirt Road Adventures: Welcome March
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey friends, are you glad it’s March? I’m so ready for spring, and it’s been trickling in around the farmhouse. I began removing all my winter and leftover Christmas decor last weekend and thought it was all done. However, as soon as I store the boxes, another item appears. This week, I’ve already started another storage container titled Christmas. LOL! I’ll be finding items tucked on shelves or cabinets until Summer!
I’ve been quiet on my Healing Journal this week. I just updated it again this morning with some thoughts about not being cancer-free and staying focused on what’s important! You can read the update at My Healing Journal.
