Have you ever stopped to ask yourself where the time went and what have you been doing? I ask myself that question daily. When we only have so much time on earth, why do we tend to waste a lot of it? Maybe it is like Thoreau said: Since we have moved to Maine, I…
The Beginning of a New Tiny or From Forest to Home
A lot has happened this year that we have not talked about. It doesn’t take long to post here, but for some reason I, Sue, just find other things more important. But…I can’t keep being lackadaisical about our new adventure. We are getting our house built as I write this. It has been a long…
Back in the Camper
Well, once again, I’ve let our blog go for a year. It’s been an eventful one. This winter, we stayed in a friend’s house in view of Penobscot Bay. It was relatively warm compared to what we would have had in the camper. In the middle of May, we moved back into the camper. If…
We are about to begin again
It feels like we are starting over with Shiny Tiny. We moved to Maine in May and to our land in Harborside in June. Currently, we are living in a camper trailer until we get our house built. That may take awhile, so we are also searching for a winter habitation. We are trying to…
The Perfect Place
We are looking for a place to homestead in Maine. That feels so good to say. We really love it here and feel that we belong. A visitor recently told me that she didn’t feel like she belonged where she currently lived and was looking for a place where she felt comfortable. I told her…

Well, we’ve been here almost 3 weeks. The time goes so fast… We started working on the garden, and then the weather turned to cold and rainy for the past week. We are supposed to get some warm sunny days by the end of the week and into next week. That will be helpful for…
Parkinson’s Law of Stuff
Ron and I have been working hard to get our house ready for renters while we are in Maine. It is amazing how much stuff we have accumulated over almost 5 years. Well, I say we, but it is really me. I’ve blogged about my love of Thrifting and my different collections. They are hobbies,…
Time to Leave!
This week a train derailed in a small town on the Ohio/Pennsylvania border. The gas in the air was so bad that the people were told they needed to leave immediately. There are houses in California sliding into the sea. Houses catch on fire in the blink of an eye. Tornadoes barrel through towns and…
We Will See You in Maine
We found out this week that we will be the 2023 resident stewarts at The Good Life Center in Harborside, Maine! We are beyond excited for this opportunity! We are currently preparing for the trip. Although we don’t have to be there until the first of May, you know how fast that time goes. As…
