Living The Slow Life

Life has been a little like this the past week or so... at least for me.

I have had to slow way down after over-doing it a little in the beginning.  This rib fracture (confirmed on x-ray) has made farm work a little difficult right now.  I am completely indebted to Jack for taking care of everything for me.

Getting outside in nature keeps me sane.  As you probably have guessed, slowing down is not my strongest suit.  I thrive on being busy around the farm.  

I am reading, crafting, cooking, puttering around in the greenhouse and garden, and visiting with the animals.  

Chores and woods walks are on hold for the time being.

So, I am occupying myself with little "extra" tasks and spending some time enjoying the coziness of home.

I painted a few signs to use as garden markers.  

They're nothing too fancy... painted on scrap wood - just a little decorative way for me mark what is where! 

Spending time in the garden soothes my soul.  

I have so much anticipation for the gardening season ahead!

  I sit on the edge of each garden box and lift tiny weeds out of the soil.  It's never too early to try to stay ahead of the weeds!

It's nice to have Moll cat join me once again when I am out there.  She is my #1 garden helper!  Luckily, the cooler temperatures discourage me from spending too much time in the garden.

All of the seedings in the greenhouse are growing by leaps and bounds.

And yes, you were right!  The emerald green bottle that Jack found in the woods, earlier this week, is a Sunsweet Prune Juice bottle - a "family size, refrigerator bottle" according to the label that I found online.
