Dear Farm Journal,

For so many Sundays of my life, Sundays have been a time of putting life back in order so that we can start again. The week before is completely laid to rest. The weekend is waning, and everything is in need of tidying up. This Sunday was an extraordinary reset. Rufus and I both enjoy the comfortable environment of a clean, organized, and minimal clutter house. Farm houses can be challenging to keep that way, but today we tackled the project of putting life back together. There is something extremely gratifying about sharing and enjoying that reset with the person you love. Even though you are cleaning, which most find a bore, you are listening to Tom Petty, dancing as you sweep, sharing amusing exchanges, and at the end of it all…enjoying your beautiful masterpiece of a home.
