Superficially, there would seem to be a lot of "sameness" to each of our days
here on the farm.
I find the repetitive rhythm of farm life to be comforting.
I find that so much of what I love to share with you ends up being
a bit repetitive as well...
and I hope you don't mind.
A repetitive rhythm is never boring...
if you take the time to notice the tiny, amazing things that happen all around you.
When you quiet your thoughts and simply enjoy the moment...
you notice little things...
things that might have gone un-noticed.
So much of life is hustle-bustle...
and the little day to day miracles often get lost in the shuffle.
Perhaps that is one reason why there is so much unhappiness...
perhaps we have lost our focus.
As for my temporary focus...
a bit of it was on this particular run-in shed...
before....
and after...
Are you tired of seeing our painting projects yet?
Well, have no fear... we only have 5 more buildings left to paint!
Amazingly, my nosey horses stayed away while I worked...
too tired to bother!
I have been noticing lately that one of the runner ducks is much cleaner than the other two.
Yes, we have one clean Nellie and two dirty Nellies!
It seems... that one of the girls is obsessed with bathing.
You see what I mean?
There are so many little things to notice around here!
In spite of all the work that we have been doing lately...
I still have found time in the evenings to knit.
Earlier sunsets have a way of gifting one more free time!
I just finished this wrap...
it is the lavender silk with a silver thread through it.
And I started this wrap...
grey to teal gradient yarn... with teal beads knitted into two sides.
All work and no play makes for a dull girl...
no worries... I always make time for a little play!

It is the days when the routine does not go as planned that I tend to dread and we had one of those this week. Usually those kinds of days involve a sick animal or some kind of appointment that I really don't want to go to. :)
And then there are the appointments I love, like the days when I see my mani/pedi lady, but even though I love them, they throw things out of whack.
I would much prefer a same as yesterday kind of day to a surprise here is what life is throwing at you today, day. :)
Moonie is so smart!
The clean duck reminds me of my pet finch. He takes a bath 5-6 times a day! I think he is also a clean freak! ha ha!
