I was thinking tonight about projects in general and how I plan around them. OK this sounds pretty deep I agree, but like I said I was thinking that when I just get done with this next project that I’m working on then I can relax and do nothing for awhile. But you know what? I don’t think there really is a ‘do nothing’ time. There’s always stuff going on isn’t there? I mean now that winter is hopefully over and this crazy wind will quit that’s blowing outside, Spring is going to come. And with Spring comes getting the yard ready and starting seeds for the garden. It also means washing windows and getting our bikes out. You also have to get the lawn furniture out and plant flowers in the yard. There’s always something to do and I guess that’s just what it is. About a billion years ago I was in a grocery store in our hometown and someone asked me how it was going. I told him that it was so busy! At the time we had little kids and both of us working and milking cows …. so it really was pretty busy! And he looked me square in the eye and said that “Once you slow down and stop, there’s nothing to do but die”. OK, this is pretty radical but it must have made an impression with me. I mean this was a long time ago and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. So my long story is this – I have to remember that sometimes life is really just one big project and that there will always be something just waiting around the corner to be started.
Chores have been going well with Daryl still gone. The house has been pretty quiet but Reno and Little Kitty have been keeping me company. I grabbed my camera tonight when I was doing chores and snapped a picture of the cows after they get corn. When you give them corn you have to make individual piles otherwise some of them get pretty bossy and won’t let the others eat until they’re done. It’s no big deal and so small piles of corn it is. I noticed No Ears coat tonight. I don’t know if it’s changing because it’s been getting a little warmer outside or what, but it’s kind of got a crazy wave thing going on.
Supper time! Ed, Tango, & No Ears. Sassy is hiding behind Ed
And my picture of the day is one that I took inside the barn tonight. To me it says, ‘It’s been a long winter’
