33 Years

DH and I are pretty low key. We don't usually celebrate milestones like a lot of folks. I'm of the mind that the small, daily actions are ones I don't ever want to miss or take for granted. The fact that he still opens the door for me. Or that we make each other laugh. Or that I cleaned out the feed room for him without him expecting me to. Or that we have HIS and HERS buckets when we have water trouble 😄

Or the fact that I am counting on him to help me brush my teeth because I am fairly certain I won't be able to pick up my toothbrush after lugging these buckets of water at least 50 times

But it was a gorgeous day...65° and not a cloud in the sky:

DH said this was called the Farmer Carry:

I sent that picture to our girl and she said, "Goodness! What are ya'll doing?"

I replied, "Haven't you heard? The gyms are closed. This is called the Covid-19 Workout." 😂

Sometimes ranch life is not fun, but it's all part of the package so we just do what has to be done and know that at the end of the day, the Lord is in control and we pray we've been good stewards of the land and of the livestock that He has placed in our care and of this life that is a gift.

(The above shot is an old one, but still one of my favorites)
This morning, DH and I were talking about the choices we are making towards a more healthy lifestyle. We've already cut back on carbs and stepped up our exercise regime, but we were discussing how to implement more changes. Let's cut back on the bread even more than we already have. I don't buy potatoes anymore. We love fruit, but it has a lot of sugar and we probably ought to cut back on that.

We sometimes sit out by the fire pit in the evenings, but we haven't done so lately and thought we'd do that on our anniversary which was on the 4th (the day after the dirt tank photos in this post were taken) . DH said, we don't even have a bottle of wine. Then he said, "Seems like the only thing good for us is each other". THAT is all the celebration I need!

(and no, we're not going anywhere - the above photo was taken 2 years ago)
Looks like there's one more stop to make though:
