    I decided to do farm chores and decided to do a picnic with the chickens, They had pumpkins & strawberries, while I had sandwich and raspberries. It was a lovely picnic, Chipmunk and I had a little chat she had a good day as well. Thank you for inspiring to visit the chickens much more often, Also! Random update: Me and my family are getting the watch goose! Instead of a guard goose it's a watch goose! A brown chinese goose were getting! Hoping to name her either Lotus, Peppermint, or Cappuccino. Were also getting 30 meat birds and 9 egg layers. Mom is up for the challenge! I'm up for the challenge as well! (for the meat birds). Stay safe everyone!

    I find many adults expectation of happiness to be unrealistic. Constantly disappointed they are not “happy” all the time. This is how children think. I have to wonder who on earth told them this is how life should be??? Happiness is a lovely feeling we all appreciate and can be leveler of the day to day business of life, but it’s not a constant. You can have a sense of joy that allows you to appreciate all that life brings. But being “Happy” all the time is not only impossible, it sets you up for inevitable disappointment. Happiness is a moment in time, not a lifestyle!!

Cranky at him (unfair), cranky at myself (unfair) and having a hard time. And, this little bit of joy of you enjoying the sunshine and your dogs, calling them "pupperonis - ... it helped a little. It took the edge off that cranky despair. Thanks Morgan & doggos...

    14:45. Morgan, Morgan, Morgan I’m feeling you. I’m the same way. I’m a project person, but I’ve got to really feel inspired before starting a project and I typically like to finish one before starting another. This seems pretty normal to me, but luckily I’m married to someone who picks up the slack and can do lots a little jobs all at the same time. This is where opposites attract and make for a great team.
    You’ll do it and I love to see your transformation over the years to constructing better and better things. Way to go.
    The best way to learn is not to be afraid to make mistakes and just know you’ll learn as you go. And also start small and build up as you garner new skills.
    Ooo and I just love that new barn. That space inspires me and I’m not even there.

    Happy snow day - down here in Gloucester VA we have been hoping for a little snow (at least once) but so far nothing (no snow last year either). Was hoping La Nino or Nina would provide a little weather this year, but nothing.
    For the cows - go to the hardware store and get some stiff floor brooms (with the big rectancle heads) then bolt the heads to the barn or a fence post so they can brush up against it! I bet they would love it just like the brush on your portable wagon you had in the field(s).
