Into the wilderness....
Leaving early bird tomorrow morning for my drive up to Sullivan County. Two nights in a Yurt middle of the Willowemoc Forest. Already hit the farmers market and made some refreshingly *Mummy only* purchases - ones that my littles would reject hands down ( tongue out).
Almost packed, and ready to embrace some solitude. A bit daunting, but sometimes l need a good jolt to reset the cogs, and appreciate all the things l take for granted at home..... if you know what l mean. The fluffies to keep me company of course.
Wish me luck...and see you on the other side
