ahh sweet simplicity. while tiff and stella have been in disneyland, i've realized that moving from a house to a trailer was an idea in the right direction, but too hesitant of a step. if we are truly going to simplify our lives then we are going to have to eliminate all traces of materialism from our living situation. so in that spirit, i bring you pictures of our new home-
the big rock.
we been living next to
the big rock for two and a half weeks now and are enjoying the lack of clutter. when it rains we bathe and what we catch in the river is what we eat, sometimes catfish or bass, sometimes a full can of beer or a package of hot dogs. here, tiffany is showing ryan and leslie our new table that we pushed over this afternoon. we've been trying shop locally and we only give stella toy rocks from within 10 feet of where we live and only if they're in season.
stella has responded amazingly to this change. tiffany and i have always been believers in an organic approach to sustainable parenting and letting stella discover the joys of foraging for crawdads has been as fullfilling as it has been tasty. here you see her crawling into her bed wearing pajamas that we wove from an old tarp and some bunjee cords that washed up in our living room.
the thing we're coming to realize is how little we really need. here's a picture of stella sharing the family cup with ryan, showing that she considers him a part of our family. we were too busy living in the moment to take pictures as our two families settled in to our rocks for the evening, watched the sun set, and passed the family cup of fresh local-made fair trade river water.
