Getting up in the morning here is so hard this time of year. I look out the windows and crawl back into bed but can’t sleep anymore so I get up and head to the kitchen to fix a hot cup of tea. The only thing I have to say is that it is absolutely beautiful! I don’t know how our creatures can live out there. They do not come out of their little sheds and huts until they hear us open the door. Then all caos breaks loose seeing who can be the loudest. Theres 3 ” to 4 ” of ice to break in the tubs that don’t have heaters. They don’t make gloves warm enough, I’ve spent a small fortune trying to find a pair that is. The whole time I’m feeding all the goats, lamas, and now a donkey I’m thinking; I’m going to move to where its warmer, lets sell this place, lets sell the animals. Well, I’ve been saying this for over 30 years! Well, I guess I have to focus on the good things. Like clear air, space, family, good friends, a warm home, good food, good health, new goat babies coming soon and its beautiful even if its below O. (P.S. don’t look for correct spelling or grammar here. My major was art not english! Ha!)
