Where do you go in the evening, when the lights in the house are all off and everyone but you has gone to bed? Do you sit up and watch the TV, Do you sit on your stoop, or on the back deck? Very simply for me its out in the barn watching the sun set, or when its all dark, listening to the peepers, and slowly walking back to the house in the dark. I thought I loved "places" before, but it wasn't the same as now. The simplest things make me smile, the noises you hear, when you are actually "listening" are incredible...knowing you are not alone in the dark is a comfort. Having this place to go to is my personal therapy sessions, where I take stock of my body and how I am feeling at the end of the day. The last few days my hands have been hurting....Just so you know, milking 6 goats by hand twice a day is hard on your body...My my friend Aimee's husband JOhn says I will be able to crush walnuts by the end of the summer...
I take a minute and say thank you, for all that I have and continue to receive. I listen for a minute longer and usually head into the house....
I usually go to bed refreshed and renewed for the coming of the next day..... The barn is my church and I worship there everyday.....
Thanks Ya'll have a wonderful evening and take a moment to worship in the church of nature...it will do your soul good.
love ya
the friendly female farmer
