Ga to Va

April 06, 2005 Ga to Va 1 year and 3 months ago I moved from Georgia to Virginia. I lived in the same place in Georgia most of my life, which was a farm. I grew up with everything imaginable. I left the bliss of the Georgia countryside and moved to Va. to marry my sweetheart where I spent the past year crammed into a townhouse in the crawling/sprawling DC metro area. Now, I am back in the country, Va , not Georgia and today is the first warm day we have had. The last frost date is April 15th. I have it marked on my calendar. I dream of digging in the soil with my bare hands, feeding new chicks, milking goats, serving the family the fruits of my garden labors, but to pass the time I am planning the kitchen remodel, planning the bathroom remodel and dreaming of the swimming pool we are putting in "for the kids." Yes, it is "for the kids!" - I keep telling myself. I am trying every day to restore my site to its once bulgingly full and daily posted blog past. One day I know I will get there.
