I can't say it enough, I love my neighborhood! Irvington is a small historic neighborhood 10 minutes east of downtown Indy. It was one of the first Indianapolis Suburbs. This summer they have been re-paving Washington Street (Old HWY 40 that splits Irvington in half) and you could see the old rail tracks from the cable cars that used to run from downtown. Oh how I wish they were still running. Very cool but not the reason I am in love with my neighborhood today. Today was the 2nd annual Irvington Skill Share. People gathered to share skills they have learned. I LOVED it. I rode my bike to a church in the neighborhood and learned how to make a no-knead bread, how to knit socks, save seeds from my garden for the spring, make cheese, and re-purpose fabric. I got so many ideas and immediately came home and harvested seeds from my lettuce and bean plants. I also found out that I can plant my lettuce seeds now for another harvest this fall. LOVE IT!
I feel like a kid. Now that I actually have time to do things outside of work I may not be as financially rich but boy am I rich in ideas and relationships that I am able to build now that I have more balance. Today is a good day!
