Missed the Big Moon

We completely missed the big moon event last night because of the overcast skies here. Guess we will have to try again in the next 19 to 20 years :(

Meanwhile, it won't be too long until Spring has sprung and we get to start on our outdoor projects. Can't wait for that!
The fence on the east side is in poor shape and we need to get that redone and garden area is a mess with weeds and it will be good to get that replanted.
We have a plan to get rid of the grass in our backyard, but yet to have gotten that fleshed out. Grass is such a water hog and there are many drought resistant plants out there we are looking into.

Still watching world events and really hope things calm down and the economies get better soon.
Lots of folks hurting out there right now.

Looking for a way to get to where I'm going

We've been kicking around the idea that if we want to see the world, we have to be willing to move around. Vacations are nice, but to really experience a location and its surroundings, you have to live there a while. Becoming part of the community is also important, rather than just having a Disneyland-type experience.
Example: If you establish yourself somewhere in Europe, you only have to hop a train to get to anywhere you wish to be. This is much cheaper and more flexible than if you have to take a plane from the USA every time you wish to get away.
My wife and I look forward to the day when we are able to do this.
