I've been saving up money for something and I think I have decided to buy land. I found a 5.5 acre plot in a beautiful area of northeastern ohio that is completely wooded. I am going to take a walk through it today and decide if it's what I want to do. I imagine that the feeling of standing on a piece of earth that belongs to me would feel nice. Then I would always know that there is a place I can go to that won't change; that will always be as I want it to be. I don't doubt that I will be moving out of Ohio in the next 3-5 years, so I may end up selling the land. Although the idea of moving back eventually and building a house in the woods doesn't sound so bad. I don't suppose to know what will come of this or of anything else for that matter. Nothing in my life has ever been certain and that is how I prefer it to be. Lately though, things have been fairly quite and I have been enjoying it as well. I get up early these days and expend the majority of my energy in the morning and afternoon hours. I've been gardening a lot in the past few months and now that Sarah and Jess have moved in, there's three of us to take care of the flowers and vegetables. By the time the sun sets, I'm usually getting tired and relax till about 11:30 when I go to bed. I still go out from time to time, but the late night hours are really only appealing to me when I am alone. I've been reading Ecclesiastes and enjoying it so far (although according to the teacher, enjoyment is meaningless). Last weekend we found a bike trail that runs through summit county up to the cleveland area. Sometime soon I'd like to do a weekend trip up to some of the metroparks. It's been a long time since I've been to the waterfalls by squaw rock. For the first time that I can recall, summer seems to be going by slow, and I pray that I can enjoy it in all it's glory.
