244 days….
The morning started with excitement …. K found a scrub turkey making a nest in the sugar cane mulch. I snapped off a few very bad shots of it before it high-tailed it out of the yard.
I think it may have been eyeing off the harem of hens as well. Luckily for them, they were safely locked in their cage while their paramour came calling. I don’t think the fact that they are different species would deter this suitor.

I lost my shit at the kids again today. They just don’t seem to understand that at some point in time on the weekend, they will have to do their chores. K worked it out though and has been just doing the simple jobs I find for her. It makes such a difference when they help me.
We washed some windows and our bedroom curtains. I am seriously considering redecorating out bedroom in the holidays. I’ve never done this before, but I feel like it needs a fresh start.
Maybe then I won’t feel so lonely in there.
I miss you so very much. It’s an ache that is always there.
I love you.

If you feel the urge to redecorate, go for it! I felt that need for a fresh start, too, and around 8 months out I redecorated the whole house — paint, rugs, curtains, some new furniture, new bedding in my bedroom. It felt wonderful. I wasn’t trying to erase T, but rather make a cozy home for me and B, put my own stamp on the house that had been ours together.
