Just have a minute to sit down, finally. It's 10 a.m. and I've been going since 5:30 a.m. The first hour and half I spent writing, so that wasn't very draining physcially, but did drain me mentally. Then fixing breakfast for the one to four guys who eat here. (It depends on what is going on whether I have four or one, and they usually don't let me know, so I always plan on four.)
As I walked through the kitchen and livingroom, I decided my house is too big! I've been working at cleaning for a good hour and half and still have a couple of hours worth to do to get the main floor cleaned up. Then to the basement to mop and vacuum and pick up and dust. On days like this I miss the ranch house! Two bedrooms, kitchen/family room, and a back porch. I could go through it and mop all the floors and be done in a little over an hour. But then I don't have the modern convenience there that I have here. The wash machine and dish washer have both been running while I've been cleaning this morning. So I guess I could say I've had help with my work.
As I've been cleaning I've opened all the blinds. What a beautiful morning this has been. As the sun was coming up, the snow sparkled so bright a person almost needed dark glasses. The ground is appearing from underneath the layers of snow. Yes, this means mud tracked into the house, and it also means that spring is thinking of coming. With spring comes the busy times that last until next November.
The beautiful morning makes me anxious to start hanging clothes out on the line to dry. How I love to climb into bed with clean sheets that have been dried out in the sun. They smell so good! And I enjoy being out listening to the birds singing their good morning songs as I hang the clothes out.
When it comes right down to it, I'm very contented with my life. I wouldn't want to live any other place, to any other man. I wouldn't want to be involved in any other business than agriculture. We have a busy life, but it is busy with good things. I am thankful!
That's a great picture. Doin what comes natural.
